“Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.

“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.

And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,

But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”

And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,

having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
