## Acts 15:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/acts/15/4) And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and *of* the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/acts/15/5) But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command *them* to keep the law of Moses.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/acts/15/6) ¶ And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/acts/15/7) And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men *and* brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/acts/15/8) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as *he did* unto us;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/acts/15/9) And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/acts/15/10) Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/acts/15/11) But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
