Acts 16:13-15

The Conversion of Lydia

13 And q on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate r to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we s 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, t who was a worshiper of God. The Lord u opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized, v 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 w prevailed upon us.
