Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi

¹¹ So setting sail from ^(A)Troas, we ran ^(B)a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis; ¹² and from there to ^(C)Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of ^(D)Macedonia, ^(E)a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days. ¹³ And on ^(F)the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and sitting down, we began speaking to the women who had assembled. ¹⁴ And a woman named Lydia, from the city of ^(G)Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, ^(H)a worshiper of God, was listening, whose heart the Lord ^(I)opened to pay attention to the things spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she and ^(J)her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
