⁴⁵ And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

²³ So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

¹³ And you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins;

¹⁴ Having put an end to the handwriting of the law which was against us, taking it out of the way by nailing it to his cross;

⁵ Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁶ Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

⁷ Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

¹¹ For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

¹³ Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

¹⁴ So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

¹⁵ We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

¹⁵ And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

¹⁶ And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?

¹⁸ And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.

³ Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.

³³ And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.
