Acts 15:8-11

8 And God, ^awho knows the heart, ^bbore witness to them, ^cby giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9 and ^dhe made no distinction between us and them, ^ehaving cleansed their hearts ^fby faith. 10 Now, therefore, why ^gare you putting God to the test ^hby placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples ⁱthat neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we ^jbelieve that we will be ^ksaved through ^lthe grace of the Lord Jesus, ^mjust as they will.”
