Acts 15:7-9 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Brethren, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Brethren, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. ⁸ And God, who knows the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us; ⁹ And he made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
