Acts 15:5-10
5But someG5100 of 1the sectG139 of the 2PhariseesG5330 who had believedG4100 stoodG1817 upG1817, sayingG3004, “It is necessaryG1163 to 3circumciseG4059 4them and to directG3853 them to keepG5083 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475.”
65The apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245 cameG4863 togetherG4863 to 6lookG3708 into thisG3778 7matterG3056. 7After there had beenG1096 muchG4183 8debateG2214, PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 and saidG3004 to them, “9BrothersG435G80, you knowG1987 that 10in the earlyG744 daysG2250 11GodG2316 madeG1586 aG1586 choiceG1586 amongG1722 you, that by my mouthG4750 the GentilesG1484 would hearG191 the wordG3056 of 12the gospelG2098 and believeG4100. 8And GodG2316, 13whoG2589 knowsG2589 theG2589 heartG2589, testifiedG3140 to them 14givingG1325 them the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, justG2531 asG2531 He alsoG2532 did to us; 9and 15He madeG1252 noG3762 distinctionG1252 betweenG3342 us and them, 16cleansingG2511 their heartsG2588 by faithG4102. 10SinceG3767 thisG3568 is the caseG3568, whyG5101 are you 17puttingG3985 GodG2316 toG3985 theG3985 testG3985 by placingG2007 upon the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101 a yokeG2218 whichG3739 18neitherG3777 our forefathersG3962 norG3777 we have beenG2480 ableG2480 to bearG941?
