Acts 15:7 WEB

⁵  But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, 'It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.'

⁶  The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

⁷  When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, 'Brothers, you 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.

⁸  God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

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