Acts 15:24-29
New International Version
Acts 15:24-29
New International Version
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.(A) 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(B) for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas(C) to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit(D) 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.(E) You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
Acts 15:24-29
King James Version
Acts 15:24-29
King James Version
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
