After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them: “Brothers, you are aware that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the gospel message and believe.

For he accepted our urging and, being very diligent, went out to you by his own choice.

By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.
