\v 40 After Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia's house. There they met with her and the other believers. They encouraged the believers to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus, and then the two apostles left the city of Philippi.

ISSUE: The key word "apostles" is not in the original text, and its inclusion here may be misleading since Silas was not an apostle (except in the broadest sense of the word).

Suggestion:
