Acts 15:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 The Lord God said,
“Later I will return.
At that time I will make David's kingdom strong again.[a]
It has become like a house that has fallen down,
but I will build it again so that it is strong.
17 Then many other people will want to know me, the Lord God.
Those are the Gentiles that I have chosen to belong to me.
I, the Lord God, say this,
and I will make these things happen.
18 Long ago I caused people to know all these things.” ’[b]

and all the Gentiles (C)who are called by my name,
says the Lord, who makes these things 18 (D)known from of old.’
