Acts 15:7-11

7After there had been much 1debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “2Brothers, you know that 3in the early days 4God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of 5the gospel and believe. 8And God, 6who knows the heart, testified to them 7giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9and 8He made no distinction between us and them, 9cleansing their hearts by faith. 10Since this is the case, why are you 10putting God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which 11neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear? 11But we believe that we are saved through 12the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.”
