Acts 15:19-23
New American Standard Bible
19 Therefore, it is (A)my judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them that they abstain from [a](B)things contaminated by idols, from (C)acts of sexual immorality, from (D)what has been [b]strangled, and from blood. 21 For (E)from ancient generations Moses has those who preach him in every city, since [c]he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Then it seemed good to (F)the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to (G)Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas who was called Barsabbas, and (H)Silas, leading men among (I)the brothers, 23 and they [d]sent this letter with them:
“(J)The apostles and the brothers who are elders, to (K)the brothers and sisters in (L)Antioch, (M)Syria, and (N)Cilicia who are from the Gentiles: (O)Greetings.
