Acts 15:5-10

5But someG5100 of 1the sectG139 of the 2PhariseesG5330 who had believedG4100 stoodG1817 up, sayingG3004, “It is necessaryG1163 to 3circumciseG4059 them and to directG3853 them to observeG5083 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475.”

64The apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245 cameG4863 togetherG4863 to 5lookG3708 into thisG3778 6matterG3056. 7After there had beenG1096 muchG4183 7debateG2214, PeterG4074 stoodG450 up and saidG3004 to them, “BrethrenG435G80, you knowG1987 that 8in the earlyG744 daysG2250 9GodG2316 madeG1586 a choiceG1586 amongG1722 you, that by my mouthG4750 the GentilesG1484 would hearG191 the wordG3056 of 10the gospelG2098 and believeG4100. 8And GodG2316, 11whoG2589 knowsG2589 the heartG2589, testifiedG3140 to them 12givingG1325 them the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, justG2531 as He alsoG2532 did to us; 9and 13He madeG1252 noG3762 distinctionG1252 betweenG3342 us and them, 14cleansingG2511 their heartsG2588 by faithG4102. 10NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 do you 15putG3985 GodG2316 to the testG3985 by placingG2007 upon the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101 a yokeG2218 whichG3739 16neitherG3777 our fathersG3962 norG3777 we have beenG2480 ableG2480 to bearG941?
