Acts 15:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ To God, those people are not different from us. When they believed, he made their hearts ·pure [clean]. ¹⁰ So now why are you testing God by putting a ·heavy load around [^Lyoke on] the necks of the ·Gentile believers [^Ldisciples]? It is a ·load [yoke] that neither we nor our ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers] were ·able [strong enough] to ·carry [bear]. ¹¹ But we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
