Acts 16:13-16
On theG3588 SabbathG4521G2250 we wentG1831 outsideG1854 theG3588 city gateG4439 alongG3844 the riverG4215, whereG3757 it was customaryG3543 to findG1510 a place of prayerG4335. After sitting downG2523, we spokeG2980 to theG3588 womenG1135 who had gatheredG4905 there.
Among those listeningG191 was aG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070, a dealer in purpleG4211 cloth from the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, who was a worshiperG4576 ofG3588 GodG2316. TheG3588 LordG2962 openedG1272 herG3739 heartG2588 to respondG4337 toG3588 Paul’sG3972 messageG2980. 15AndG1161 whenG5613 she andG2532 herG846 householdG3624 had been baptizedG907, she urgedG3870G3004 us, “IfG1487 you considerG2919 meG1473 a believerG1510G4103 in theG3588 LordG2962, comeG1525 and stayG3306 atG1519 myG1473 houseG3624.” AndG2532 she persuadedG3849 usG1473.
16One dayG1161G1096 as weG1473 were goingG4198 toG1519 theG3588 place of prayerG4335, weG1473 were met byG5221 aG5100 slave girlG3814 withG2192 a spiritG4151 of divinationG4436,1 whoG3748 earnedG3930 a largeG4183 incomeG2039 for herG846 mastersG2962 by fortune-tellingG3132.
