ACTS CHAPTER 18



Act_18:1-8 Paul worketh for his subsistence, and preacheth Christ

at Corinth, first to the Jews, and, upon their opposing

Act_18:9-11 He is encouraged by the Lord in a vision, and abideth

there a long time.

Act_18:12-17 The Jews accuse him before Gallio the deputy, who

will have nothing to do with them.

Act_18:18-23 Paul passeth from city to city, confirming the disciples.

Act_18:24-28 Apollos, instructed more perfectly in the Christian

doctrine by Aquila and Priscilla, preacheth it at

Ephesus, and afterward in Achaia, with great efficacy.



The metropolis of Achaia, being a rich sea town, and situate in the very isthmus which joins Peloponnesus unto Achaia; made a Roman colony, and now flourishing with learned men. Here St. Paul gathered a famous church, unto which he wrote two of his Epistles.
