Excerpt from A New Literal Translation From the Original Greek of All the Apostolical Epistles, Vol. 4 of 6: With a Commentary and Notes, Philological, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical, to Which Is Added, a History of the Life of the Apostle Paul Paul and Silas away to Beroea, a neighbouring city of note; where likewise they converted numbers of religious proselytes, and idolatrous Gentiles, and even many Of the Beroean Jews. For the latter being Of a better disposition than their brethren in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things were so. But the Thessalonian Jews hearing of the success of the gospel in Beroea, came and stirred up the idolatrous mule titude, so that Paul was constrained to depart. Silas, how-p ever, and Timothy, not being so Obnoxious to the Jews, abode there still. In this flight the apostle was accompanied by some of the Beroean brethren, who conducted him to 'athens, and who, when they departed, carried his order to Silas and Ti mothy to come to him forthwith. In obedience to that order, Timothy alone came to Athens. But the apostle immediately sent him back to Thessalonica, to comfort the brethren, and to exhort them concerning their faith, 1 Thess. Iii. 1, 2.-af ter Timothy left Athens, Paul endeavoured to plant the gosg pel in that celebrated mart Of learnlng, by the force Of reason ing alone, without the aid of miracles. The Athenian philo sophers, however, not being convinced by his discourses, though he reasoned in the most forcible manner against the Polytheism to which they were addicted, he made but few disciples. Leaving Athens, therefore, before Timothy returned from Thessalonica, he went to Corinth, the chief city ofthe province of Achaia, in hopes Of being better received. This happened soon after the Emperor Claudius banished the Jews from Rome. For, On his arrival at Corinth, the apostle found Aquila and Priscilla, lately come from Italy, in consequence of the Em: peror's edict.
