Achaia

But when Gallio became the Roman governor of Achaia, the unbelieving Jews made a concerted attack on Sha’ul and took him to court,

When he made plans to cross over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote the talmidim there to welcome him. On arrival, he greatly helped those who through grace had come to trust;

Some time later, Sha’ul decided by the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and then go to Yerushalayim. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome.”

For Macedonia and Achaia thought it would be good to make some contribution to the poor among God’s people in Yerushalayim.

Now, brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first people in Achaia to put their trust in the Messiah, and they have devoted themselves to serving God’s people.

From: Sha’ul, by God’s will an emissary of the Messiah Yeshua, and brother Timothy To: God’s Messianic community in Corinth, along with all God’s people throughout Achaia:

I know how eager you are, and I boast about you to the Macedonians. I tell them, “Achaia has been ready since last year,” and it was your zeal that stirred up most of them.

The truthfulness of the Messiah is in me, so that this boast concerning me is not going to be silenced anywhere in Achaia.

Thus you became a pattern for all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia;

for the Lord’s message sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but everywhere your trust toward God became known. The result is that we don’t need to say anything;
