Actus Apostolorum 15:19-29
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
19 Propter quod ego judico non inquietari eos qui ex gentibus convertuntur ad Deum,
20 sed scribere ad eos ut abstineant se a contaminationibus simulacrorum, et fornicatione, et suffocatis, et sanguine.
21 Moyses enim a temporibus antiquis habet in singulis civitatibus qui eum praedicent in synagogis, ubi per omne sabbatum legitur.
22 Tunc placuit Apostolis et senioribus cum omni ecclesia eligere viros ex eis, et mittere Antiochiam cum Paulo et Barnaba: Judam, qui cognominabatur Barsabas, et Silam, viros primos in fratribus:
23 scribentes per manus eorum: Apostoli et seniores fratres, his qui sunt Antiochiae, et Syriae, et Ciliciae, fratribus ex gentibus, salutem.
24 Quoniam audivimus quia quidam ex nobis exeuntes, turbaverunt vos verbis, evertentes animas vestras, quibus non mandavimus,
25 placuit nobis collectis in unum eligere viros, et mittere ad vos cum carissimis nostris Barnaba et Paulo,
26 hominibus qui tradiderunt animas suas pro nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
27 Misimus ergo Judam et Silam, qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem.
28 Visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra imponere vobis oneris quam haec necessaria:
29 ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione: a quibus custodientes vos, bene agetis. Valete.

Acts 15:19-29
New International Version
Acts 15:19-29
New International Version
19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols,(A) from sexual immorality,(B) from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.(C) 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”(D)
The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers
22 Then the apostles and elders,(E) with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch(F) with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas,(G) men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter:
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch,(H) Syria(I) and Cilicia:(J)
Greetings.(K)
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.(L) 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives(M) for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas(N) to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit(O) and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.(P) You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
