16 katapi New Standard Bible Passage

11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, The Conversion of Lydia Ac.16.11-15
12and from there to Philippi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days;  
13and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 
14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul. 
15And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.  

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi New Standard Bible.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages,
and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages.
Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole,
with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
