And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Note 5 at Acts 16:40: Paul's work in Phillipi was certainly fought against but very rewarding. A church was established in Philippi which Paul later said was the only church that invested financially in his ministry (Phil. 4:15). They sent money to Paul twice in Thessalonica (Phil. 4:16), once in Corinth (2 Cor. 11:9), and even many years later when Paul was in prison in Rome (Phil. 4:14, 18). Lasting relationships must have been established for when Paul was in prison in Rome he wrote, "For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ."
