Acts 16:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 And on the day of the Sabbath, we went outside the city gate beside the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and[a] spoke to the women assembled there. 14 And a certain woman named[b] Lydia from the city of Thyatira, a merchant dealing in purple cloth who showed reverence for God, was listening. The Lord opened her[c] heart to pay attention to what was being said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized, and her household, she urged us,[d] saying, “If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come to my house and[e] stay.” And she prevailed upon us.

New International Version
13 On the Sabbath(A) we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira(B) named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart(C) to respond to Paul’s message. 15 When she and the members of her household(D) were baptized,(E) she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
