Acts 15:8-9

Context
15:8 And God, who knows the heart, 1  has testified 2  to them by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 3  15:9 and he made no distinction 4  between them and us, cleansing 5  their hearts by faith.

1 sn The expression who knows the heart means “who knows what people think.”

2 tn Or “has borne witness.”

3 sn By giving them…just as he did to us. The allusion is to the events of Acts 10-11, esp. 10:44-48 and Peter’s remarks in 11:15-18.

4 tn BDAG 231 s.v. διακρίνω 1.b lists this passage under the meaning “to conclude that there is a difference, make a distinction, differentiate.”

5 tn Or “purifying.”
