Context of Acts 15:11

9and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. 10Since this is the case, why are you putting God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” 12All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13After they stopped speaking, James responded, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.

Through the grace … - By the grace or mercy of Christ alone, without any of the rites and ceremonies of the Jews. We shall be saved, even as they - In the same manner, by the mere grace of Christ.
