Acts 11:15-18
New International Version
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(A) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(B) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(C) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(D) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(E) he gave us(F) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(G)

And they (I)glorified God, saying, (J)“Then to the Gentiles also God has (K)granted (L)repentance that leads to life.”

15 And as I began to speak, (A)the Holy Spirit fell upon them just (B)as He did upon us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘(C)John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [a]with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 Therefore, if (D)God gave them the same gift as He also gave to us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, (E)who was I that I could [b]stand in God’s way?” 18 When they heard this, they [c]quieted down and (F)glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has also granted to the Gentiles the (G)repentance that leads to life.”
