Acts 15:5-9

New International Version

⁵ Then some of the believers who belonged to the party^(A) of the Pharisees^(B) stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”^(C)

⁶ The apostles and elders met to consider this question. ⁷ After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.^{(D) 8} God, who knows the heart,^(E) showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them,^(F) just as he did to us. ⁹ He did not discriminate between us and them,^(G) for he purified their hearts by faith.^(H)
