His house was located right next to the synagogue and became an important gathering place for the early Christian community in Corinth. He is known as one who feared God, indicating that he was a Gentile who sympathized with Judaism before becoming a Christian.

Paul leaves the synagogue in Corinth
When the Jews in Corinth opposed Paul's preaching, he left the synagogue and went to the house of Titius Justus, a God-fearing man who lived right next to the synagogue.
6But when they opposed him and hurled abuse at him, he shook out his clothes and said to them, "Your blood is on your own heads. I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
Titius Justus welcomed Paul and allowed his home to be used as a meeting place for believers in Corinth, demonstrating his hospitality and devotion to the gospel.
While Paul was staying in the house of Titius Justus, the synagogue ruler Crispus came to believe along with his entire household, and many other Corinthians became believers and were baptized.
8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, came to believe in the Lord together with his whole household, and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
While Paul was working from the home of Titius Justus, the Lord spoke to him in a night vision and encouraged him to continue preaching in Corinth without fear, for God had many people in the city.
