Acts 18:10

Protection and safetyGod's presenceFearComfort

8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.

9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.

For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”

11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.

12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
