Berean Study Bible Paul Ministers in CorinthPaul’s ministry moved on from the events in Athens, where he had addressed philosophers and proclaimed the true God in the Areopagus. Act 17:22-31 Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus… Paul left Athens The city was renowned for philosophy, learning, and idolatry, but only a few believed his message there. Act 17:33 At that, Paul left the Areopagus. and went to Corinth. Corinth was a wealthy Roman commercial center located on a strategic trade route. Its population included Romans, Greeks, Jews, merchants, sailors, and travelers, and its moral corruption was widely known. The city’s influence and diversity made it an important place for the spread of the gospel, and Paul would remain there long enough to establish a significant church. 1Co 2:1-3 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come… There he found a Jew named Aquila, Aquila was a Jewish believer whose background connected him to the dispersed Jewish communities throughout the Roman world. His Roman name, meaning “eagle” in Latin, reflects the cultural setting in which many diaspora Jews lived. Rom 16:3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, a native of Pontus, Pontus lay along the southern shore of the Black Sea in Asia Minor. Jews from this region were represented in many parts of the empire, illustrating the wide reach of Jewish settlement. Act 2:9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia,… who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla Aquila and Priscilla had lived in Italy, likely within Rome’s Jewish community. They served together in the work of the church and later became trusted coworkers of Paul. 1Co 16:19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings.… because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Claudius expelled Jews from Rome around AD 49, likely following unrest within the Jewish population. The decree displaced Aquila and Priscilla and brought them to Corinth, where their lives became closely connected with Paul’s ministry. Act 11:28 One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted… Paul went to visit them, Paul sought out Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth, where their shared Jewish background and trade led to a lasting partnership in gospel service. Act 15:36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back… and he stayed and worked with them Paul joined Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth, likely sharing both lodging and daily labor. Their household became an early center of Christian fellowship and ministry. Act 20:34-35 You yourselves know that these hands of mine… because they were tentmakers by trade, Making tents and other leather goods provided dependable income in a busy commercial city. Paul supported himself rather than relying on the new believers in Corinth. Exo 35:35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work… just as he was. Though called as an apostle, Paul continued the trade he had learned in his Jewish upbringing. His work allowed him to minister freely while living among ordinary laborers. 1Co 4:12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified… Every Sabbath Paul began in the synagogue, where Jews and Gentile worshipers gathered for Scripture reading and instruction. In Corinth, this gave him a regular audience familiar with God’s promises. Act 15:21 For Moses has been proclaimed in every city… he reasoned in the synagogue, Paul engaged the people from the Scriptures, answering objections and showing that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Act 17:17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews… trying to persuade He called his hearers to respond in faith, not merely to consider his message. Act 28:23 So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came… Jews and Greeks alike. The synagogue included Jews and Greeks drawn to the worship of Israel’s God, showing that the gospel was already reaching beyond the Jewish community. Act 20:21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God… And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Silas and Timothy rejoined Paul in Corinth after strengthening believers in Macedonia. Their arrival brought needed fellowship and likely material support, relieving Paul from the necessity of regular tentmaking and enabling him to give greater attention to his public ministry. Act 17:14-15 The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast,… Paul devoted himself fully to the word, Paul concentrated his efforts on proclaiming and teaching the gospel in Corinth. The growing work required sustained instruction, persuasion, and pastoral care among both Jews and Gentiles. Act 6:4 and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the…… testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. In the synagogue Paul presented Jesus as Israel’s promised Messiah, showing that God’s redemptive purposes had been fulfilled in Him. His message called the Jewish community to recognize Jesus not merely as a teacher, but as the Christ sent by God. Act 9:22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded… But when they opposed and insulted him, Jewish opponents in the Corinthian synagogue rejected Paul’s message that Jesus was the Messiah and responded with hostile resistance and abuse. Act 13:45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled… he shook out his garments Paul performed a public act showing that he was severing responsibility for those who had heard and rejected the gospel. Neh 5:13 I also shook out the folds of my robe and said,… and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! Having clearly proclaimed the truth, Paul held them accountable for their own response and its consequences. 2Sa 1:16 For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood… I am innocent of it. He had faithfully carried out his duty to warn them and could not be blamed for their refusal to believe. Mat 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing… From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Paul turned his primary attention in Corinth to Gentiles, though he did not abandon all ministry to Jews. His work there would soon bear fruit among many Gentiles, including people connected with the synagogue. Act 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly… So Paul left the synagogue After Jewish opposition hardened against his message, Paul moved his regular teaching from the synagogue. His departure marked a change in location, not a complete abandonment of the Jewish people. Act 19:9 But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe… and went next door The new meeting place stood immediately beside the synagogue, allowing Paul to continue proclaiming Christ where both Jews and Gentiles could hear. Act 16:40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went… to the house of Titus Justus, Titus Justus opened his home for the work of the gospel. His house became a gathering place for the growing Corinthian church. Rom 16:23 Gaius, who has hosted me and all the church,… a worshiper of God. Though a Gentile, Titus Justus honored the God of Israel and was receptive to the message that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Act 16:14 Among those listening was a woman named Lydia,… Crispus, the synagogue leader, Crispus held a position of recognized authority in Corinth’s Jewish community. His faith in Christ marked a significant break with the synagogue’s opposition to Paul and showed that the gospel was received by people of influence as well as by the poor and marginalized. 1Co 1:14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you… and his whole household believed in the Lord. Those under Crispus’s household embraced the same faith, forming part of the growing Christian community in Corinth. Their belief indicates a shared and public departure from their former religious life. Jhn 4:53 Then the father realized that this was the very hour… And many of the Corinthians who heard the message Corinth was a prosperous, diverse port city marked by pagan worship and moral disorder. Paul’s preaching drew people from its varied population, including Jews, Greeks, and others who heard the message of Christ. Act 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced… believed and were baptized. Their baptism followed their faith in the Lord and publicly identified them with Christ and His people. These converts became the beginning of the church in Corinth. Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel… One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: While Paul ministered in Corinth, the risen Lord gave him direct guidance during a difficult period. Corinth was a prominent commercial city marked by pagan worship and widespread immorality, and Paul had already encountered opposition from some in the synagogue. Act 16:9-10 During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia… “Do not be afraid; The Lord addressed the danger and discouragement Paul faced. Opposition had not removed him from God’s care or altered his calling. Gen 15:1 After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram… keep on speaking; Paul was to continue proclaiming Jesus as the Christ in Corinth. The work was not to end because of resistance or hostility. Act 4:29-31 And now, Lord, consider their threats,… do not be silent. The Lord required open, persistent testimony. Paul’s message would remain public despite the cost, and God would soon confirm His protection by preserving Paul’s ministry in the city. Psa 83:1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent;… For I am with you The Lord assured Paul of His personal presence as he continued preaching in Corinth, a wealthy and immoral city marked by pagan worship and opposition to the gospel. God’s presence gave Paul courage to remain at his work despite hostility. Isa 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid… and no one will lay a hand on you, Paul would face resistance in Corinth, especially from those angered by his teaching in the synagogue and among the Gentiles. God promised that no attack would prevent Paul from completing the work appointed for him there. Zec 2:8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: … because I have many people in this city.” Though Corinth appeared spiritually dark, God had already purposed to save many within the city. Paul’s continued ministry would gather believers from among Jews, Gentiles, and former idolaters, establishing a church that would become important in the spread of the gospel. Act 15:14 Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles… So Paul stayed for a year and a half, Paul remained in Corinth for an extended period after the Lord assured him of protection and promised that many in the city would believe. As a major commercial center with a diverse population, Corinth offered a strategic setting for establishing a durable congregation. His continued presence gave the new believers time to mature amid a city marked by idolatry and moral corruption. Act 19:10 This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived… teaching the word of God Paul instructed both Jews and Gentiles in the gospel of Jesus Christ—His death, resurrection, and lordship—and in the demands of faithful Christian living. His ministry formed believers in sound doctrine and prepared them to live as a distinct church within their surrounding culture. Act 20:20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything… among the Corinthians. The Corinthian church included people from varied ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds. Its later struggles with division, immorality, and spiritual disorder show the challenges facing this young congregation, but Paul’s sustained ministry provided the foundation for its correction and growth. 1Co 2:1-5 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come…
Paul before GallioGallio, brother of the philosopher Seneca, governed Achaia about AD 51–52. His appointment is confirmed by an inscription from Delphi, making his tenure an important date for Paul’s ministry in Corinth. Achaia included southern Greece, and Corinth served as its chief city. Act 13:7 an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus.… the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul Opposition grew as Paul’s preaching led both Jews and Gentiles to faith in Christ. The Jewish opponents acted together to use Roman authority against him and halt his work in the city. Act 23:12 When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy… and brought him before the judgment seat. They took Paul to the bema, the public tribunal in Corinth’s marketplace where the proconsul heard legal cases. By bringing him before Gallio, they sought an official ruling that would discredit Paul’s message and remove him from the city. Act 25:6 After spending no more than eight or ten days… “This man is persuading the people Paul’s preaching in Corinth convinced both Jews and Gentiles that Jesus is the promised Messiah and Lord. His growing influence provoked opposition from members of the synagogue who rejected his message. Act 19:26 And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus… to worship God Paul called people to turn from idolatry and unbelief to worship the one true God through faith in Jesus Christ. Jhn 4:23-24 But a time is coming and has now come… in ways contrary to the law,” His opponents charged that he was undermining Jewish law and customs, particularly by teaching that Gentiles could belong to God’s people through faith without becoming Jews. Act 21:21 But they are under the impression that you teach… they said. The accusation was brought before Gallio, the Roman proconsul of Achaia, in an attempt to have Paul’s ministry treated as a criminal offense. Act 25:7-8 When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem… But just as Paul was about to speak, Paul stood ready to answer the accusations brought against him in Corinth. Before he could respond, Gallio interrupted the proceedings and made clear that the case did not warrant Roman judgment. Act 26:1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak”… Gallio told the Jews, Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia and brother of the philosopher Seneca, held authority over legal matters in the province. The Jewish leaders had brought Paul before him because they opposed his preaching about Christ. Luk 23:4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds,… “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, Gallio distinguished between genuine criminal conduct and a dispute over religious teaching. Rome intervened when public order or Roman law had been violated. Rom 13:3-4 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad.… O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint. Gallio refused to treat their disagreement with Paul as a criminal case. His decision allowed Paul’s ministry in Corinth to continue without Roman interference. Act 25:16 I told them that it is not the Roman custom… But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, Gallio recognized that the charges against Paul concerned Jewish religious questions, especially the claims that Jesus is the Messiah and the implications of that claim for the law. He regarded the case as an internal dispute within Judaism rather than a violation of Roman law. 1Ti 6:4 he is conceited and understands nothing.… settle it yourselves. The proconsul directed the Jewish leaders to handle the matter through their own religious authorities. Rome generally permitted local peoples to govern such matters unless they threatened public order or challenged imperial authority. 1Co 6:2-4 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?… I refuse to be a judge of such things.” Gallio would not treat the preaching of Christ as a criminal offense. His ruling protected Paul from immediate legal punishment and showed that the accusations presented did not constitute sedition or a civil crime. Luk 12:14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor… And he drove them away Gallio dismissed the Jewish leaders and their charge against Paul, refusing to treat their dispute over Jewish religious matters as a Roman legal case. His ruling prevented them from using the provincial court to silence Paul and allowed the gospel work in Corinth to continue without Roman intervention. Act 13:50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women… from the judgment seat. The judgment seat was the public tribunal where Gallio, as proconsul of Achaia, heard legal cases. Corinth’s ancient marketplace included such a raised platform, fitting the setting described in Acts. From this seat of Roman authority, Gallio declined to condemn Paul for preaching Christ. Act 25:6 After spending no more than eight or ten days… At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader Sosthenes appears to have succeeded Crispus as ruler of the Corinthian synagogue after Crispus believed in Christ. After Gallio dismissed the case against Paul, the crowd turned on Sosthenes, likely holding him responsible for the failed accusation or expressing hostility toward the Jewish leaders. 1Co 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus… and beat him in front of the judgment seat. The beating took place publicly before the bema, the raised tribunal where Gallio had heard the case. It revealed the disorder and ethnic tension in Corinth after the hearing. Jhn 19:13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out… But none of this was of concern to Gallio. Gallio regarded the matter as outside his responsibility and refused to involve Roman authority in the dispute. His ruling left Christianity protected, at least for a time, as a matter connected with Judaism rather than an unlawful movement. Act 23:29 I found that the accusation involved questions…
Paul Returns to AntiochAfter ministering there for at least eighteen months, Paul continued strengthening the church in this influential commercial city, where Jews, Greeks, Romans, travelers, and merchants regularly gathered. 1Co 16:5-7 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you;… before saying goodbye to the brothers. The believers in Corinth had become a settled congregation through Paul’s ministry. His departure followed a period of teaching, fellowship, and pastoral care. Act 21:6 And after we had said our farewells, we went aboard the ship… He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, Cenchrea, Corinth’s eastern harbor, was the point of departure. Paul’s shaved head marked the completion of a personal vow, showing that he continued to observe practices consistent with his Jewish background while proclaiming Christ among Gentiles. Act 21:23-24 Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us… and then he sailed for Syria, Paul began the return journey toward Antioch, the church that had sent him out and supported his missionary work. Act 20:3 where he stayed three months and when the Jews formed a plot… accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. The couple had worked alongside Paul in Corinth and now joined him in ministry. Their service would continue in Ephesus, where they helped instruct Apollos more accurately in the way of God. Rom 16:3-4 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,… When they reached Ephesus, Ephesus was a leading city of Roman Asia and a major center of trade, religion, and culture. Its renowned Temple of Artemis drew visitors from across the region. The city’s influence made it an important place for the Gospel to gain a lasting foothold. Act 19:1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through… Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. This Jewish Christian couple had worked closely with Paul and shared his trade of tentmaking. Their maturity and faithfulness equipped them to help establish believers in Ephesus and provide stable leadership during Paul’s absence. Rom 16:3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, He himself went into the synagogue there Paul began among Jews and Gentiles who feared God and already knew the Scriptures. The synagogue offered a natural setting to present Jesus as the promised Messiah. Act 19:8 Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly… and reasoned with the Jews. Paul carefully explained from the Scriptures that God’s promises concerning the Messiah were fulfilled in Jesus, including His suffering, death, and resurrection. Act 17:2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue… When they asked him to stay for a while longer, Paul’s arrival in Ephesus brought an unusually receptive response from the Jews in the synagogue. Ephesus was a leading city of Asia Minor and a major center of pagan religion because of the temple of Artemis. Their request showed genuine interest in hearing more of Paul’s message about Jesus as the Messiah. Jhn 4:40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked… he declined. Paul continued his journey rather than remaining in Ephesus, apparently intending to reach Jerusalem for the approaching feast. Though the opportunity was promising, he did not alter his course. He would later return to Ephesus and minister there for an extended period, establishing a strong foundation for the church. Gen 24:56-58 But he replied, “Do not delay me, since the LORD… But as he left, he said, Paul departed Ephesus after reasoning with Jews in the synagogue, where some had asked him to remain longer. Ephesus was an important commercial and religious center in Asia Minor, dominated by the worship of Artemis. Though his time there was brief on this visit, the interest shown in the synagogue prepared the way for a later and more extended ministry. Act 20:36-38 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them… “I will come back to you if God is willing.” Paul intended to return, but he placed his plans under God’s direction. His words show both his concern for those in Ephesus and his submission to the Lord’s control over his travels and ministry. 1Co 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing,… And he set sail from Ephesus. Leaving from the city’s harbor, Paul continued toward Caesarea and eventually Antioch, completing his second missionary journey. Ephesus would become a major center of his later work, where he taught for an extended period and saw the gospel spread throughout the region. Act 20:16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time… When Paul had landed at Caesarea, Caesarea was Judea’s principal Roman port, built by Herod the Great and serving as the province’s administrative center. Its harbor connected Judea with the wider Mediterranean world. Act 21:8-9 Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea… he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. From Caesarea Paul traveled inland to Jerusalem, where he met with the believers and likely reported on the work completed during his second missionary journey. His visit maintained fellowship with the mother church and its leaders. Act 21:15-17 After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.… Then he went down to Antioch. Paul returned to Syrian Antioch, the church that had sent him out and supported his missionary labor. There he concluded the journey before later departing again for further ministry. Act 15:30-35 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch…
Paul’s Third Missionary Journey BeginsPaul returned to the church that had become a major center for Gentile mission work. Antioch provided fellowship, accountability, and support as he prepared to continue the work entrusted to him. Act 15:35 But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch,… he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, Paul began another journey through the inland regions of Asia Minor, revisiting congregations formed during earlier ministry. These churches faced pressure from surrounding pagan culture and from teachers who distorted the gospel. Act 16:6-7 After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking… strengthening all the disciples. Paul devoted himself to establishing believers in truth, encouraging faithfulness, and helping the churches remain united and steadfast. His work included more than preaching to new audiences; he also cared for the spiritual health and endurance of those already converted. Act 14:21-22 They preached the gospel to that city and made many… Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, Apollos was a Jew who had come to faith in Jesus as the Messiah. His Greek name reflects the Hellenistic setting in which many Jews lived and ministered. 1Co 3:4-6 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,”… a native of Alexandria, Alexandria was a leading center of learning in Egypt with a large Jewish community and strong familiarity with the Greek Scriptures. His upbringing there likely helped prepare him for public teaching. Act 6:9 But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue… came to Ephesus. Ephesus was an influential commercial and religious center in Asia Minor. Apollos arrived where a growing Christian witness had already been established. Act 19:1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through… He was an eloquent man, Apollos spoke with clarity and persuasive ability, enabling him to present biblical truth effectively in public settings. Act 7:22 So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians… well versed in the Scriptures. He possessed a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament and could use it skillfully to explain God’s promises and the coming of the Messiah. Ezr 7:10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD,… He had been instructed in the way of the Lord Apollos had received substantial instruction concerning God’s redemptive purposes and the promised Messiah. As a Jew from Alexandria, a major center of Jewish learning, he was well prepared in the Scriptures and able to connect them to Jesus. Psa 25:12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him… and was fervent in spirit. He taught with sincere zeal and earnest conviction. His passion gave force to his public ministry and reflected a deep commitment to the truth he had received. Rom 12:11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor,… He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, Apollos faithfully proclaimed what he knew of Jesus, drawing on his knowledge of Scripture and his skill as a speaker. His teaching was true, though not yet complete. Act 17:3 “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,”… though he knew only the baptism of John. His understanding had reached the preparatory ministry of John the Baptist, whose baptism called Israel to repentance in expectation of the coming Messiah. He had not yet been fully instructed concerning Christian baptism, the completed work of Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Act 1:5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days… And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Apollos, a learned Jew from Alexandria, publicly taught in the Ephesian synagogue with confidence. Like other early witnesses, he proclaimed what he knew of God’s promised Messiah among the Jewish community. Act 19:8 Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly… When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, Priscilla and Aquila, Jewish believers who had worked with Paul in Corinth and later came to Ephesus, recognized both Apollos’s ability and the incompleteness of his instruction. Rather than correcting him publicly, they received him personally. Pro 15:31 He who listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among… they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. Apollos knew the ministry and baptism of John but needed fuller instruction concerning Jesus, His death, resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Priscilla and Aquila helped prepare him for a more complete and effective ministry. 2Ti 2:15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God,… When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, Having been instructed more accurately in Ephesus by Priscilla and Aquila, Apollos continued his ministry in Achaia, the Roman province of southern Greece that included Corinth. His journey extended the work of the churches beyond Ephesus and into a region where Paul had already established believers. 1Co 16:12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go… the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. The Ephesian believers recognized Apollos’ gifts and commended him to the Christians in Achaia. Their letter prepared the churches to receive him as a faithful teacher and fellow laborer. Act 15:32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets,… On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. Apollos strengthened believers whose faith rested on God’s grace, using his knowledge of the Scriptures to build up the church and defend the truth concerning Jesus. 1Co 3:5-7 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants… For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, Apollos openly answered objections to the gospel before Jewish audiences, likely in synagogue settings and other public gathering places. His learning, command of Scripture, and skill in reasoning enabled him to present a compelling case despite strong resistance to the Christian message. Act 17:2-3 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue… proving from the Scriptures He demonstrated from the Hebrew Scriptures that God’s promised Redeemer had come according to His revealed plan. Rather than presenting Christianity as a break from Israel’s faith, Apollos showed that the gospel fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophets. Act 28:23 So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came… that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Anointed One; “Christ” is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew “Messiah.” Apollos’ ministry strengthened believers in Achaia and confronted those who rejected Jesus’ identity and authority. Act 9:22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded… This is a draft of the Berean Study Bible. Please send all comments and recommendations to bereanstudybible@aol.com. Bible Hub |
