Acts 2:39-42
J.B. Phillips New Testament
38-39 Peter told them, “You must repent and every one of you must be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ, so that you may have your sins forgiven and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For this great promise is for you and your children—yes, and for all who are far away, for as many as the Lord our God shall call to himself!”
40 Peter said much more than this as he gave his testimony and implored them, saying, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation!”
