²² Then the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, resolved to select men from among their number and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, [both] leading men among the brethren, and sent them.

²⁵ It has been resolved by us in assembly to select men and send them [as messengers] to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ Men who have hazarded their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ So we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will bring you the same message by word of mouth.

³⁰ So when [the messengers] were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and having assembled the congregation, they delivered the letter.
