Acts 15:5-9

⁵And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among them, saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.

⁶And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

⁷And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, ye know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.

⁸And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit as to us also,

⁹and put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
