³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were ^[a]pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “^[b]Brothers, ^(A)what are we to do?” ³⁸ Peter said to them, “^(B)Repent, and each of you be ^(C)baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(D)the promise is for you and your children and for all who are ^(E)far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he solemnly ^(F)testified and kept on urging them, saying, “^[c]Be saved from this ^(G)perverse generation!” ⁴¹ So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand ^[d](H)souls.
