Acts 15:8

---

← Acts 15:7	Acts 15:8 (KJV)	Acts 15:9 →
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.	And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us;	And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
