Acts 15:7-11 And when there had been much discussion, Peter arose, and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Peter arose, and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe. ⁸ And God who knows the heart bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, as also to us; ⁹ and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. ¹⁰ Now therefore why do ye tempt God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? ¹¹ But, through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe that we shall be saved, in the same manner as they also.
