Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.
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
Crispus, ruler of the synagogue himself, believed and brought his whole household with him, a blow to the unbelieving Jews that bore fruit. Faith comes by hearing the Gospel; these heard, believed with saving faith, and were baptized, laying the foundation of a church that would stand for ages.
AI summary
A synagogue ruler converting to Christ inflamed the other Jews but proved the Gospel's power. If it could transform sinners in dissolute Corinth and plant a church there, it can work anywhere; no city is too corrupt for Christ to purify.
