⁹ But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

⁹ and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁵ And a voice `came' unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

²⁸ and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and `yet' unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
