Acts 15:5-12

⁵But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.

⁶And the Apostles and the rulers of the church came together and gave thought to the question.

⁷And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.

⁸And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us;

⁹Making no division between them and us, but making clean their hearts by faith.

¹⁰Why then are you testing God, by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke so hard that not even our fathers or we were strong enough for it?

¹¹But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

¹²And all the people were quiet while Barnabas and Paul gave an account of the signs and wonders which God had done among the Gentiles by them.
