40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(F) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number(G) that day.

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Acts 10:43-48
New International Version
43 All the prophets testify about him(A) that everyone(B) who believes(C) in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”(D)
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on(E) all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter(F) were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out(G) even on Gentiles.(H) 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[a](I) and praising God.
Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.(J) They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”(K) 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.(L) Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

King James Version
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
