Acts 15:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.

9. And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10. Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

11. But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them."

12. Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
