Acts 15:7-11

⁷And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁸And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;

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

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

¹¹But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
