14A womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070 was listeningG191; she was a sellerG4211 ofG4211 purpleG4211 fabricsG4211 from the cityG4172 of 1ThyatiraG2363, and 2a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316. 3The LordG2962 4openedG1272 her heartG2588 to respondG4337 to the thingsG2980 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972. 15NowG1161 whenG5613 she and 5her 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.
