Acts 15:6-10

⁶So the apostles and the elders gathered together to consider this matter.

⁷After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁸God, who knows the heart, witnesses to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us;

⁹and he made no distinction between us and them, making their hearts clean by faith.

¹⁰Now therefore why do you test God, that you should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
