Acts 11:17

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
World English Bible (WEB)
Forasmuch{G1487} then{G3767} as{G5613} God{G2316} gave{G1325}{(G5656)} them{G846} the like{G2470} gift{G1431} as{G2532} he did unto us{G2254}, who believed{G4100}{(G5660)} on{G1909} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547};{G1161} what{G5101} was{G2252}{(G5713)} I{G1473}, that I could{G1415} withstand{G2967}{(G5658)} God{G2316}?
Strong's King James
(17) Therefore if אֱלֹהִים Elohim-God gave to them the same gift like us believing upon The אָדוֹן Adonai Yeshua Mashiach, who am I, powerful enough to be hindering The אֱלֹהִים Elohim-God?
The F.O.G*
[17] "If God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus the Messiah, who was I to think that I could stand in God's way? His purposes are bigger than our traditions."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?’
Young's Literal Translation
