1599 Geneva Bible
9 And he put no [a]difference between us and them, after that (A)[b]by faith he had purified their hearts.
10 [c]Now therefore, why [d]tempt ye God, to (B)lay a yoke on the disciples’ necks, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, even as they do.

9 He did not discriminate between us and them,(A) for he purified their hearts by faith.(B) 10 Now then, why do you try to test God(C) by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke(D) that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace(E) of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
