Context of Acts 15:11

9He made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts through faith. 10Why then do you put God to the test by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples—which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But instead, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, in the same way as they are.” 12Then the whole group became silent and were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were describing in detail all the signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13After they finished speaking, Jacob answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-21Verses 7-21 We see from the words "purifying their hearts by faith," and the address of St. Peter, that justification by faith, and sanctification by the Holy Ghost, cannot be separated; and that both are the gift of God.
