The Lord opened her heart^(B) to respond to Paul’s message. ¹⁵ When she and the members of her household^(C) were baptized,^(D) 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.

⁴⁰ After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house,^(A) where they met with the brothers and sisters^(B) and encouraged them. Then they left.
