Acts 15:14-21

New International Version

¹⁴ Simon^[a] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles.^{(A) 15} The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:

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,^(D) from sexual immorality,^(E) from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.^{(F) 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.”^(G)
