1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of the Thyatirians, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things, which Paul spake.
15 [b]And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into mine house, and abide there: and she constrained us.
16 [c]And it came to pass that as we went to prayer, a certain maid having a spirit [d]of divination, met us, which gat her masters much vantage with divining.

14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira(A) named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart(B) to respond to Paul’s message. 15 When she and the members of her household(C) were baptized,(D) 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.
