Acts 16:11-15
English Standard Version
The Conversion of Lydia
11 So, setting sail from Troas, we (A)made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to (B)Philippi, which is a leading city of the[a] district of Macedonia and (C)a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13 And (D)on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate (E)to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we (F)sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, (G)who was a worshiper of God. The Lord (H)opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized, (I)and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she (J)prevailed upon us.

The Conversion of Lydia at Philippi
11 So putting out to sea from Troas, we sailed a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of that district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. And we were staying in this city for some days. 13 And on the day of the Sabbath, we went outside the city gate beside the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and[a] spoke to the women assembled there. 14 And a certain woman named[b] Lydia from the city of Thyatira, a merchant dealing in purple cloth who showed reverence for God, was listening. The Lord opened her[c] heart to pay attention to what was being said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized, and her household, she urged us,[d] saying, “If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come to my house and[e] stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
