"Saved Even As They"

Peter speaking to the Jews in Acts 15:11

But we believe through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
we shall be saved even as they.

"[When] the apostle Peter got up to speak. [The Jews] expected him
to affirm them by saying, 'Why these Gentile dogs, as you call them, can be saved,
even as you.' Instead he adopted quite a different tone. He turned the tables and said to them,
'We believe that you may be saved, even as they.'"
