Acts 16:31

They replied, ¹  “Believe ²  in the Lord Jesus ³  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."

They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

They replied, "Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with your entire household."

They said, "Put your entire trust in the Master Jesus. Then you'll live as you were meant to live--and everyone in your house included!"

And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

They answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

They replied, ¹  “Believe ²  in the Lord Jesus ³  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

¹ tn Grk “said.”

² sn Here the summary term of response is a call to believe. In this context it refers to trusting the sovereign God’s power to deliver, which events had just pictured for the jailer.

³ tc The majority of mss add Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) here (C D E Ψ 1739 Ï sy sa), but the best and earliest witnesses read simply τὸν κύριον ᾿Ιησοῦν (ton kurion Ihsoun, “the Lord Jesus”; Ì^74vid א A B 33 81 pc bo). The addition of “Christ” to “Lord Jesus” is an obviously motivated reading. Thus on both external and internal grounds, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.
