What did Paul do in the synagogue in Corinth every sabbath?

In Corinth, Paul went to the synagogue every sabbath, reasoning with those present and persuading both Jews and Greeks. While laboring as a tentmaker with Priscilla and Aquila, he constantly spoke of his Gospel, regularly engaging the synagogue. This was his pattern of ministry there.

Les explains that after Paul departed Athens and came to Corinth, he found Aquila, a Jew from Pontus lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because of the demand to depart from Rome. Paul came to Priscilla and Aquila in Corinth. Because he was of the same craft, he abode with them and worked, for by their occupation they were tent makers. Yet he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks. Les then asks what Paul constantly talked about while spending daily time at his trade, and answers: his Gospel—that is all Paul could talk about. Les compares this to visiting acquaintances from the program and talking for 48 hours about the things of the Word rather than weather or politics, saying it should be that way and was the same with these three.

Acts 18:4
