Acts 15:7-9

7 And after there had been much ¹debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, ²that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear ³the word of ⁴the gospel and believe.

8 And God, ⁵who knows the heart, ⁶bore witness to them, ⁷by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,

9 and ⁸he made no distinction between us and them, ⁹having cleansed their hearts ¹⁰by faith.
