Acts 15:8

5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.`

6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,

7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

8 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,

9 and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

10 now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.`
