I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.” <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue. <A name="9"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house.
