Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi

¹¹ From Troas^(A) we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. ¹² From there we traveled to Philippi,^(B) a Roman colony and the leading city of that district^[a] of Macedonia.^(C) And we stayed there several days.

¹³ On the Sabbath^(D) we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. ¹⁴ One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira^(E) named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart^(F) to respond to Paul’s message. ¹⁵ When she and the members of her household^(G) were baptized,^(H) she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

³¹ They replied, “Believe^(A) in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved^(B)—you and your household.”^{(C) 32} Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. ³³ At that hour of the night^(D) the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.^{(E) 34} The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he^(F) was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.

⁷ Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.^{(A) 8} Crispus,^(B) the synagogue leader,^(C) and his entire household^(D) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.

¹⁶ (Yes, I also baptized the household^(A) of Stephanas;^(B) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)
