The Rights of an Apostle
9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

Acts 18:4-11
18:4 He addressed
both Jews and Greeks in the synagogue
every Sabbath, attempting to persuade
them.
18:5 Now when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
18:6 When they opposed him and reviled him, he protested by shaking out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”
18:7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went to the house of a person named Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
18:8 Crispus, the president of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
18:9 The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,
18:10 because I am with you, and no one will assault you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
18:11 So he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

3:3 for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

and me.

him (who is my very heart)
back to you.
