NETBible

And God, who knows the heart, 1  has testified 2  to them by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 3 

NET Notes

1 sn The expression who knows the heart means “who knows what people think.”

2 tn Or “has borne witness.”

3 sn By giving them…just as he did to us. The allusion is to the events of Acts 10-11, esp. 10:44-48 and Peter’s remarks in 11:15-18.
