Acts 15:28-35

English Standard Version

²⁸ For it has seemed good ^(A)to the Holy Spirit and ^(B)to us ^(C)to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: ^29 (D)that you abstain from ^(E)what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”

³⁰ So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. ³¹ And when they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. ³² And Judas and Silas, who were themselves ^(F)prophets, encouraged and ^(G)strengthened ^(H)the brothers with many words. ³³ And after they had spent some time, they were sent off ^(I)in peace by ^(J)the brothers to those who had sent them.^{[a] 35} But ^(K)Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
