Acts 15:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And when there had been great disputation, Peter rose up, and said unto them, (A)[a]Ye men and brethren, ye know that a [b]good while ago, among us God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.
8 And God which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, in giving unto them the holy Ghost even as he did unto us.
9 And he put no [c]difference between us and them, after that (B)[d]by faith he had purified their hearts.
