Acts 15:7-9

Goodspeed(i) 7 After a long discussion, Peter got up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that in the early days God chose that of you all I should be the one from whose lips the heathen should hear the message of the good news and believe it. 8 And God who knows men's hearts testified for them by giving them the holy Spirit just as he had done to us, 9 making no difference between us and them, but cleansing their hearts by faith.
