They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household' — the apostolic answer (pisteuō epi kyrion Iēsoun Christon kai sōthēsei su kai ho oikos sou) is remarkably simple: faith in Christ (not circumcision, not law-keeping) issues in salvation. The household formula echoes earlier patterns (Cornelius, Lydia), suggesting that baptism and belief spread to family units.
