⁹ During the night Paul had a vision^(A) of a man of Macedonia^(B) standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

²² He sent two of his helpers,^(A) Timothy^(B) and Erastus,^(C) to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia^(D) a little longer.

²⁹ Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius^(A) and Aristarchus,^(B) Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia,^(C) and all of them rushed into the theater together.

²⁶ For Macedonia^(A) and Achaia^(B) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.^(C)

⁷ And so you became a model^(A) to all the believers in Macedonia^(B) and Achaia.^{(C) 8} The Lord’s message^(D) rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.^(E) Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, ⁹ for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned^(F) to God from idols^(G) to serve the living and true God,^{(H) 10} and to wait for his Son from heaven,^(I) whom he raised from the dead^(J)—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.^(K)
