Acts 15:6-11
New King James Version
The Jerusalem Council
6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. 7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: (A)“Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 So God, (B)who knows the heart, [a]acknowledged them by (C)giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, 9 (D)and made no distinction between us and them, (E)purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore, why do you test God (F)by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But (G)we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus [b]Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”
