Acts 15:7-9
7 After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them: “Brothers, you are aware that in the early days God made a choice among you,(a) that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the gospel message and believe.
8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them by giving(b) the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us.(A)
9 He made no distinction between us and them,(B) cleansing their hearts by faith.(C)
