Acts 16:11-15

11So putting out to sea from 1Troas, we ran 2a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis; 12and from there to 3Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of 4Macedonia, 5a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days. 13And on 6the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. 14A woman named Lydia, from the city of 7Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, 8a worshiper of God, was listening; 9and the Lord 10opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. 15And when she and 11her 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.
