7 He walked out and went to the home of Titius Justus, a God-fearing man who lived right next to the Jews' meeting place. 8 But Paul's efforts with the Jews weren't a total loss, for Crispus, the meeting-place president, put his trust in the Master. His entire family believed with him. 9 One night the Master spoke to Paul in a dream: "Keep it up, and don't let anyone intimidate or silence you. 10 No matter what happens, I'm with you and no one is going to be able to hurt you. You have no idea how many people I have on my side in this city." 11 That was all he needed to stick it out. He stayed another year and a half, faithfully teaching the Word of God to the Corinthians.

Commentary on Acts 18:7-11
(Read Acts 18:7-11)
The Lord knows those that are his, yea, and those that shall be his; for it is by his work upon them that they become his. Let us not despair concerning any place, when even in wicked Corinth Christ had much people. He will gather in his chosen flock from the places where they are scattered Thus encouraged, the apostle continued at Corinth, and a numerous and flourishing church grew up.
