²⁷ Therefore, we have sent ^(A)Judas and ^(B)Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth. ²⁸ For ^(C)it seemed good to ^(D)the Holy Spirit and to ^(E)us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: ²⁹ that you abstain from ^(F)things sacrificed to idols, from ^(G)blood, from ^(H)things strangled, and from ^(I)acts of sexual immorality; ^[a]if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.”
