ACT 15:22–29, engwebp
²²Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
²³They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
²⁴Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
²⁵it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
²⁶men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
²⁷We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
²⁸For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
²⁹that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
