Acts 16:11-15

11SoG3767 after settingG321 sailG321 from 1TroasG5174, we ranG2113 2aG2113 straightG2113 courseG2113 to SamothraceG4543, and on the followingG1897 day to NeapolisG3496; 12and fromG2547 thereG2547 to 3PhilippiG5375, whichG3748 is a leadingG4413 cityG4172 of the districtG3310 of 4MacedoniaG3109, 5a Roman colonyG2862; and we were spendingG1304 someG5100 daysG2250 in thisG3778 cityG4172. 13And on 6the SabbathG4521 dayG2250 we wentG1831 outsideG1854 the gateG4439 to a riversideG3844G4215, whereG3757 we were thinkingG3543 that there was a placeG4335 ofG4335 prayerG4335; and we satG2523 downG2523 and began speakingG2980 to the womenG1135 who had assembledG4905. 14A womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070 was listeningG191; she was a sellerG4211 ofG4211 purpleG4211 fabricsG4211 from the cityG4172 of 7ThyatiraG2363, and 8a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316. 9The LordG2962 10openedG1272 her heartG2588 to respondG4337 to the thingsG2980 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972. 15NowG1161 whenG5613 she and 11her householdG3624 had been baptizedG907, she urgedG3870 us, sayingG3004, “IfG1487 you have judgedG2919 me to be faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 into my houseG3624 and stayG3306.” And she prevailedG3849 upon us.
