ACTS 10:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.”
but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.'—God's acceptance criterion transcends ethnicity: 'from every nation' (ex pantos ethnous) makes inclusion universal. The qualifications are spiritual, not ethnic: fear of God (reverence, obedience) and righteousness (doing what is right, dikaiosynē). Cornelius exemplifies these criteria; his Gentile status is spiritually irrelevant.
