- From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day on to Neapolis.
- From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
- On the Sabbath 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.
- One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message.
- When she and the members of her household were baptized, 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.

- 于是从特罗亚开船,一直行到撒摩特喇,第二天到了尼亚波利。
- 从那里来到腓立比,就是马其顿这一方的头一个城。也是罗马的驻防城。我们在这城里住了几天。
- 当安息日,我们出城门,到了河边,知道那里有一个祷告的地方,我们就坐下对那聚会的妇女讲道。
- 有一个卖紫色布疋的妇人,名叫吕底亚,是推雅推喇城的人,素来敬拜神。他听见了,主就开导他的心,叫他留心听保罗所讲的话。
- 他和他一家,既领了洗,便求我们说,你们若以为我是真信主的,(或作你们若以为我是忠心事奉主的)请到我家里来住。于是强留我们。
