Acts 2:37-39
1599 Geneva Bible
37 Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 [a]Then Peter said unto them, Amend your lives, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins: and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost.
39 For the [b]promise is made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

- Acts 2:39 The word that is used here, giveth us to understand that it was a free gift.
