1. Living as a tentmaker (1-4)

Paul came to Corinth, where he provided for his needs by making tents. He worked with Aquila and Priscilla. On the Sabbath he reasoned with both Jews and Greeks in the synagogue.

2. Keep on speaking (5-11)

Paul's life in Corinth was not easy. Besides having to provide for his own needs, he was living a mission life. When Silas and Timothy joined the ministry in Corinth, Paul was able to devote himself to preaching the gospel. But the Jews rejected him, so he went to the Gentiles. Such difficulty could make him fearful, but the Lord spoke to Paul, telling him to continue teaching the word of God, for there were many believers in the city. Paul suffered, but God would bear fruit.
