Acts 18:8-11 Now Crispus, the presiding member (or: leader; ruler) of the synagogue, put his trust in and believed by and in the Lord = Christ, along with his whole household. Furthermore, many of the Corinthians, continuing in hearing the message, began trusting and believing, and, one after another, were being immersed (baptized).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Now Crispus, the presiding member (or: leader; ruler) of the synagogue, put his trust in and believed by and in the Lord [= Christ], along with his whole household. Furthermore, many of the Corinthians, continuing in hearing [the message], began trusting and believing, and, one after another, were being immersed (baptized). ⁹ Now at one point, through a vision (the result of something seen) during [the] night, the Lord [= Christ or Yahweh] said to Paul, "Stop being caused to fear. To the contrary, keep on speaking; and you should not at any point become silent, ¹⁰ "because I, Myself, am with you, and not even one person will set himself upon (= assault; attack) you with the intent to treat you badly (harm you; behave in a worthless manner to you; injure or ill-treat you), because within this city there are many people in Me (or: for Me; with Me)." ¹¹ So he took a seat (as a teacher) and was seated (= installed) [D adds: in Corinth] one year and six months, habitually teaching the Word and message of God in the midst of them (or: among them).
