Titius Justus
According to Acts 18, 7 LUT, Titius Justus was a God-fearing man who lived in Corinth at the time of Paul's second missionary trip .
After Paul had convinced many Jews and Greeks of Jesus as the Christ in the synagogue there, resistance arose against him, whereupon he turned to the non-Jewish inhabitants of Corinth. As a result, he came to the house of Titius Justus, which was located near the synagogue. This thus became the Christian community's own meeting place. The designation as "God-fearing" shows Titius Justus as a former pagan who took part in the synagogue service and partially obeyed the Mosaic laws, but who, unlike the proselytes, had not yet legally converted to Judaism through circumcision .
