Acts 10:33-35
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
33 So at once I sent for you, and you [being a Jew] have done a kind and [a]courteous and handsome thing in coming. Now then, we are all present in the sight of God to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.
34 And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons,
35 But in every nation he who venerates and has a reverential fear for God, treating Him with worshipful obedience and living uprightly, is acceptable to Him and [b]sure of being received and welcomed [by Him].
