Notes

Acts 10:34–35

God does not show favoritism: See Deuteronomy 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7; Job 34:19; Luke 20:21; Romans 2:11; Galatians 2:6; Colossians 3:25; 1 Peter 1:17.
The application of this principle is the meaning of Peter’s vision (10:9–16).
welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right: See Romans 10:11–13.
