Acts 15:7-12
7After there had beenG1096 muchG4183 1debateG2214, PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 and saidG3004 to them, “2BrothersG435G80, you knowG1987 that 3in the earlyG744 daysG2250 4GodG2316 madeG1586 aG1586 choiceG1586 amongG1722 you, that by my mouthG4750 the GentilesG1484 would hearG191 the wordG3056 of 5the gospelG2098 and believeG4100. 8And GodG2316, 6whoG2589 knowsG2589 theG2589 heartG2589, testifiedG3140 to them 7givingG1325 them the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, justG2531 asG2531 He alsoG2532 did to us; 9and 8He madeG1252 noG3762 distinctionG1252 betweenG3342 us and them, 9cleansingG2511 their heartsG2588 by faithG4102. 10SinceG3767 thisG3568 is the caseG3568, whyG5101 are you 10puttingG3985 GodG2316 toG3985 theG3985 testG3985 by placingG2007 upon the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101 a yokeG2218 whichG3739 11neitherG3777 our forefathersG3962 norG3777 we have beenG2480 ableG2480 to bearG941? 11But we believeG4100 that we are savedG4982 throughG1223 12the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, in the sameG3739 wayG5158 as they alsoG2548 are.”
12AllG3956 the peopleG4128 keptG4601 silentG4601, and they were listeningG191 to BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 as they were 13relatingG1834 allG3745 the 14signsG4592 and wondersG5059 thatG3745 GodG2316 had doneG4160 throughG1223 them amongG1722 the GentilesG1484.
