²⁷ Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who will personally report the same things by word of mouth.^{[a] 28} For it was the Holy Spirit’s decision—and ours—to put no greater burden on you than these necessary things:^{(A) 29} that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality.^(B) You will do well if you keep yourselves from these things.

Farewell.
