12 and from there to (A)Philippi, which is the [a]foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. 14 Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of (B)Thyatira, who worshiped God. (C)The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.

Acts 16:12-14
New International Version
12 From there we traveled to Philippi,(A) a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia.(B) And we stayed there several days.
13 On the Sabbath(C) 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(D) named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart(E) to respond to Paul’s message.
