²⁰ but that we ^(A)write to them to abstain ^(B)from things polluted by idols, ^(C)from ^[a]sexual immorality, ^(D)from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁵ But concerning the Gentiles who believe, ^(A)we have written and decided ^[a]that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from ^[b]sexual immorality.”

²⁰ Nevertheless I have ^[a]a few things against you, because you allow ^[b]that woman ^(A)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, ^[c]to teach and seduce My servants ^(B)to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of ^(A)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, ^(B)to eat things sacrificed to idols, ^(C)and to commit sexual immorality.

¹⁸ Observe ^(A)Israel ^(B)after the flesh: ^(C)Are not those who eat of the sacrifices ^[a]partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What am I saying then? ^(D)That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles ^(E)sacrifice ^(F)they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

Glory to God

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

^27 (A)Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: ^(B)to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, ^(C)and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
