Acts 16:14-16
Tree of Life Version
14 A woman named Lydia—a seller of purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, a God-fearer—was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.
15 When she was immersed, along with her household, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she insisted.[a]
16 It so happened that as we were going to prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit of divination, who was bringing her masters much profit from her fortune-telling.

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.
