Acts 15:23-26
New King James Version
23 They wrote this letter by them:
The apostles, the elders, and the brethren,
To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 Since we have heard that (A)some who went out from us have troubled you with words, (B)unsettling your souls, [a]saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”—to whom we gave no such commandment— 25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one [b]accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 (C)men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 (A)that you abstain from things offered to idols, (B)from blood, from things strangled, and from (C)sexual[a] immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.
