The early church

"And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue." See how having again said, "Henceforth"--for all that, he does not neglect them; so that it was to rouse them that he said this, and thereupon came to Justus, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue, so that even from this they might have jealousy, from the very proximity. "And having removed thence he came into the house of one named Justus, that worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue," and there abode, by this wishing to persuade them that he was in earnest to go to the Gentiles. Accordingly, mark immediately the ruler of the synagogue converted, and many others, when he had done this.

Commentary

Matthew Henry · Verses 7–11

The Lord knows those that are his, yea, and those that shall be his; for it is by his work upon them that they become his. Let us not despair concerning any place, when even in wicked Corinth Christ had much people. He will gather in his chosen flock from the places where they are scattered Thus encouraged, the apostle continued at Corinth, and a numerous and flourishing church grew up.
