v. 9: One night, the Lord Jesus appeared to Paul in a vision to encourage him. Jesus told Paul, Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you (Acts 18:9-10 ^a). Paul was reminded that Jesus would protect him in Corinth and that there were many people in the city who would believe the gospel. This vision gave Paul new courage to continue his work.

v. 10: Jesus assured Paul that no one would harm him in Corinth because God had many people there who were chosen to believe. Even though Corinth was known for its sin and idol worship, God saw many hearts ready to respond to the gospel. Paul learned not to give up on any place, because even the most unlikely city could have people who would become followers of Christ.
