^9 (A)And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of ^(B)Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

²² And having sent into ^(A)Macedonia two of ^(B)those who ministered to him, ^(C)Timothy and ^(D)Erastus, he himself stayed in ^[a](E)Asia for a while.

²⁹ And the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed ^[a]with one accord into the theater, dragging along ^(A)Gaius and ^(B)Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling ^(C)companions from ^(D)Macedonia.

²⁶ For ^(A)Macedonia and ^(B)Achaia were pleased to ^[a]share with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

⁷ so that you became a model to all the believers in ^(A)Macedonia and in ^(B)Achaia. ⁸ For ^(C)the word of the Lord has ^(D)sounded forth from you, not only in ^(E)Macedonia and ^(F)Achaia, but also ^(G)in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything. ⁹ For they themselves report about us what kind of an ^(H)entrance we had ^[a]with you, and how you ^(I)turned to God ^(J)from ^[b]idols to serve ^[c](K)a living and true God, ¹⁰ and to ^(L)wait for His Son from ^[d]heaven, whom He ^(M)raised from the dead, Jesus, who ^(N)rescues us from ^(O)the wrath to come.
