And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paul spent longer here than anywhere else, yet Corinth cost him unjust suffering and ingratitude. The Lord exercised him through every hardship. Building a church demands labor and time; even the ablest workman lays only a foundation and leaves others to build upon it.
AI summary
When the Jews shut him out, Paul simply moved next door to Justus's house and kept preaching, no shame in it, for God's work has always found room in private homes. Even in breaking with them, Paul positioned himself where they could still reach him if they would hear.

Commenting on Acts 18:7-11
He obeyed the vision and sat there teaching, eighteen months, longer than most places he labored. The harvest was large and the work immense; raising and ordering a church required both time and faithfulness, so he preached the word of God openly and constantly among them.
