Jesus’ Disciples, Preach The Gospel Of Salvation

Peter (standing up with The Eleven) said, Men of Israel, hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to YOU, by Miracles, Wonders, and Signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as YOU yourselves also know Him, being Delivered by The Determined Purpose and Foreknowledge of God, YOU have taken by lawless hands, have Crucified, and put to death; whom God Raised Up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Men and Brethren, let me speak freely to YOU of The Patriarch David, being a Prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an Oath to him, that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up The Christ to sit on his throne, he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning The Resurrection of The Christ, that His Soul was not left in Hades, nor did His Flesh see corruption.  This Jesus God has Raised Up, of which We are All Witnesses.  Therefore being Exalted to The Right Hand of God, and having Received from The Father, The Promise of The Holy Spirit, He poured out this which YOU now see and hear.  Therefore let All The House of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom YOU Crucified, both Lord and Christ.  Repent, and let every one of YOU be Baptized in The Name of Jesus Christ, for The Remission of sins; and YOU shall receive The Gift of The Holy Spirit.  Salvation is found is no other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among Men, by which We must be Saved.  For The Promise is to YOU and to your children, and to All who are afar off, as many as The Lord Our God, Will Call.  The God of Our Fathers, Raised up Jesus whom YOU murdered by hanging on a tree.  Him, God has Exalted to His Right Hand, to be Prince and Savior, to give Repentance to Israel and Forgiveness of sins.  And We are His Witnesses to these things, and so also is The Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.

In Truth, God shows no partiality, but in every Nation, whoever fears Him and Works Righteousness, is accepted by Him.  The Word, which God sent to The Children of Israel, Preaching Peace through Jesus Christ, He is Lord of All, that Word YOU know, which was Proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after The Baptism which John Preached, how God Anointed Jesus of Nazareth, with The Holy Spirit and with Power, Who went about doing Good and Healing All, who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  And We are Witnesses of All Things which He did, both in The Land of The Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.  Him, God Raised Up on The Third Day, and showed Him Openly, not to all the people, but to Witnesses Chosen before by God, even to Us, who ate and drank with Him, after He Arose from the dead.  And He Commanded Us, to Preach to the people, and to Testify that it is He, who was Ordained by God, to be Judge of The Living and the dead.  To Him All The Prophets Witness that, through His Name, whoever Believes in Him, will Receive Remission of sins.  While Peter was still speaking these words, The Holy Spirit fell upon All those who heard The Word.  And those of the circumcision who Believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because The Gift of The Holy Spirit, had been poured out on The Gentiles also.  Then I remembered The Word of The Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed Baptized with water, but YOU shall be Baptized with The Holy Spirit.’  If therefore, God gave them the same Gift, as He gave Us when We Believed on The Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?  When they heard these things, they Glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to The Gentiles Repentance to Life.

Blessed be The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant Mercy, has begotten Us again to a Living Hope through The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for YOU, who are kept by The Power of God through Faith for Salvation ready to be Revealed in The Last Time.  In this YOU greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, YOU have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your Faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to Praise, Honor, and Glory at The Revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, YOU Love.  Though now YOU do not see Him, yet Believing, YOU rejoice with joy inexpressible and Full of Glory, receiving the end of your Faith, The Salvation of your Souls.  Of this Salvation The Prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who Prophesied of The Grace that would come to YOU, searching what, or what manner of time, The Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He Testified beforehand The Sufferings of Christ and The Glories that would follow.  To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to Us they were Ministering the things which now have been reported to YOU through those who have Preached The Gospel to YOU by The Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, things which Angels desire to look into.

Since YOU have Purified your Souls, in obeying The Truth through The Spirit, having been Born Again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through The Word of God which Lives, Abides, and Endures Forever.  Now this is The Word, which by The Gospel was Preached to YOU.  For We did not follow cunningly devised fables when We made known to YOU The Power and Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but were Eyewitnesses of His Majesty.  For He Received from God The Father, Honor and Glory, when such a Voice came to Him, from The Excellent Glory: “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  And We heard this Voice which came from Heaven, when We were with Him on The Holy Mountain.  And so We have The Prophetic Word Confirmed, which YOU do well to heed, as a Light that shines in a dark place, until The Day Dawns and The Morning Star Rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for Prophecy never came by the will of man, but Holy Men of God spoke, as they were moved by The Holy Spirit.  Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with The Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His Promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward Us, not willing that any should perish but that All should come to Repentance.
