16:1 保羅來到特庇，又到路司得。在那裡有一個門徒，名叫提摩太，是信主之猶太婦人的兒子，他父親卻是希臘人。
16:2 路司得和以哥念的弟兄都稱讚他。
16:3 保羅要帶他同去，只因那些地方的猶太人都知道他父親是希臘人，就給他行了割禮。
16:4 他們經過各城，把耶路撒冷使徒和長老所定的條規交給門徒遵守。
16:5 於是眾教會信心越發堅固，人數天天加增。
16:6 聖靈既然禁止他們在亞細亞講道，他們就經過弗呂家、加拉太一帶地方。
16:7 到了每西亞的邊界，他們想要往庇推尼去，耶穌的靈卻不許。
16:8 他們就越過每西亞，下到特羅亞去。
16:9 在夜間有異象現與保羅。有一個馬其頓人站著求他說：請你過到馬其頓來幫助我們。
16:10 保羅既看見這異象，我們隨即想要往馬其頓去，以為神召我們傳福音給那裡的人聽。
16:11 於是從特羅亞開船，一直行到撒摩特喇，第二天到了尼亞波利。
16:12 從那裡來到腓立比，就是馬其頓這一方的頭一個城，也是羅馬的駐防城。我們在這城裡住了幾天。
16:13 當安息日，我們出城門，到了河邊，知道那裡有一個禱告的地方，我們就坐下對那聚會的婦女講道。
16:14 有一個賣紫色布疋的婦人，名叫呂底亞，是推雅推喇城的人，素來敬拜神。她聽見了，主就開導她的心，叫她留心聽保羅所講的話。
16:15 她和她一家既領了洗，便求我們說：你們若以為我是真信主的（或作：你們若以為我是忠心事主的），請到我家裡來住。於是強留我們。

提摩太跟保羅、西拉同工
16:1 保羅來到特庇和路司得。在路司得有一個門徒，名叫提摩太；他的母親是猶太人，也是信徒，父親是希臘人。
16:2 在路司得和以哥念的信徒們都稱讚提摩太。
16:3 保羅要帶他一起走，就替他行了割禮，因為這一帶的猶太人都知道他的父親是希臘人。
16:4 他們經過那些村鎮，把耶路撒冷的使徒和長老們所定下的規例交給他們，吩咐他們遵守。
16:5 因此，各教會在信心方面得以堅固，人數也一天比一天多起來。
馬其頓的呼聲
16:6 他們取道弗呂家和加拉太地區，因為聖靈不准許他們在亞細亞省傳佈信息。
16:7 當他們到了每西亞邊界時，想進入庇推尼省，可是耶穌的靈禁止他們。
16:8 於是他們繞過【12】每西亞，到特羅亞去。
16:9 當天晚上，保羅得到一個異象，在異象中他看見一個馬其頓人，站著懇求他說：「請到馬其頓來幫助我們！」
16:10 保羅一有了這個異象，我們立刻準備往馬其頓去，因為我們知道上帝呼召我們去傳福音給當地的人。
呂底亞歸主
16:11 我們坐船從特羅亞出發，直開撒摩特喇，第二天到尼亞坡里。
16:12 從那裏我們往內地走，來到馬其頓第一區的一個城市【13】腓立比；這城也是羅馬的殖民區。我們在這裏住了幾天。
16:13 安息日，我們出城到了河邊，心裏想，那裏可能有一個猶太人禱告的地方。我們坐下，向聚集在那裏的婦女們講道。
16:14 聽眾中有一個從推雅推喇城來的婦人，名叫呂底亞，以販賣紫色布疋為業。她一向敬拜上帝；主敞開了她的心，使她留心聆聽保羅所講的話。
16:15 她和她一家的人都受洗禮。隨後，她請求我們：「如果你們認為我是真心信主，請到我家裏來住。」於是她堅決把我們留下。
RSV
16:1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
16:2 He was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Ico'nium.
16:3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
16:4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
16:5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
16:6 And they went through the region of Phry'gia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
16:7 And when they had come opposite My'sia, they attempted to go into Bithyn'ia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
16:8 so, passing by My'sia, they went down to Tro'as.
16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedo'nia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedo'nia and help us."
16:10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedo'nia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
16:11 Setting sail therefore from Tro'as, we made a direct voyage to Sam'othrace, and the following day to Ne-ap'olis,
16:12 and from there to Philip'pi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedo'nia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days;
16:13 and 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.
16:14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, 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.
16:15 And 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.
