Acts 15:7-9 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Men and brothers, you 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.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Men and brothers, you 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. ⁸ And God, which knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did to us; ⁹ And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
