Acts 10:34-43 BBE
(34) Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons: (35) But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him. (36) The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ who is Lord of all-- (37) That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher, (38) About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him. (39) And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree. (40) On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen, (41) Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead. (42) And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead. (43) To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

Acts 10:34-43 GNB
Peter began to speak: "I now realize that it is true that God treats everyone on the same basis. (35) Those who fear him and do what is right are acceptable to him, no matter what race they belong to. (36) You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. (37) You know of the great event that took place throughout the land of Israel, beginning in Galilee after John preached his message of baptism. (38) You know about Jesus of Nazareth and how God poured out on him the Holy Spirit and power. He went everywhere, doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, for God was with him. (39) We are witnesses of everything that he did in the land of Israel and in Jerusalem. Then they put him to death by nailing him to a cross. (40) But God raised him from death three days later and caused him to appear, (41) not to everyone, but only to the witnesses that God had already chosen, that is, to us who ate and drank with him after he rose from death. (42) And he commanded us to preach the gospel to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God has appointed judge of the living and the dead. (43) All the prophets spoke about him, saying that all who believe in him will have their sins forgiven through the power of his name."

Acts 10:34-43 LITV
(34) And opening his mouth, Peter said, Truly I see that God is not a respecter of faces, (35) but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him. (36) The Word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, this One is Lord of all. (37) You know the thing that happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed, (38) Jesus the One from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all those having been oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him. (39) And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem. They did away with Him, hanging Him on a tree. (40) God raised up this One the third day and gave to Him to become visible; (41) not to all the people, but to witnesses, the ones having been before hand-picked by God, to us who ate and drank with Him after His rising again from the dead. (42) And He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to witness solemnly that it is He who has been marked out by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. (43) To this One all the Prophets witness, so that through His name everyone believing into Him will receive remission of sins.

Acts 10:34-43 GW
Then Peter said, "Now I understand that God doesn't play favorites. (35) Rather, whoever respects God and does what is right is acceptable to him in any nation. (36) God sent his word to the people of Israel and brought them the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ. This Jesus Christ is everyone's Lord. (37) You know what happened throughout Judea. Everything began in Galilee after John spread the news about baptism. (38) You know that God anointed Jesus from Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went everywhere and did good things, such as healing everyone who was under the devil's power. Jesus did these things because God was with him. (39) We can testify to everything Jesus did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. People hung him on a cross and killed him, (40) but God brought him back to life on the third day. God didn't show him (41) to all the people. He showed Jesus to witnesses, apostles he had already chosen. We apostles are those men who ate and drank with Jesus after he came back to life. (42) He ordered us to warn the people, 'God has appointed Jesus to judge the living and the dead.' (43) In addition, all the prophets testify that people who believe in the one named Jesus receive forgiveness for their sins through him."

Acts 10:34-43 NWT
34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: "For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. 36 He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: this One is Lord of all [others]. 37 You know the subject that was talked about throughout the whole of Judea, starting from Galilee after the baptism that John preached, 38 namely, Jesus who was from Nazareth, how God anointed him with holy spirit and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil; because God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they also did away with him by hanging him on a stake. 40 God raised this One up on the third day and granted him to become manifest, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead. 42 Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness that this is the One decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone putting faith in him gets forgiveness of sins through his name."
