Acts 15:22-29

22Then it seemedG1380 goodG1380 to the apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245, with the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to choose menG435 out of their company, and sendG3992 them to AntiochG490 with PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923, and SilasG4609, chief menG435 among the brethren: 23and they wroteG1125 thus by them, The apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the GentilesG1484 in AntiochG490 and SyriaG4947 and CiliciaG2791, greetingG5463: 24Forasmuch as we have heardG191 that certainG5100 who wentG1831 out from us have troubledG5015 you with wordsG3056, subverting your soulsG5590; to whom we gave no commandment; 25it seemedG1380 goodG1380 unto us, having comeG1096 to oneG3661 accordG3661, to choose out menG435 and sendG3992 them unto you with our belovedG27 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972, 26menG444 that have hazarded their livesG5590 for the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 27We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 and SilasG4609, who themselves alsoG2532 shall tellG518 you the sameG846 things by wordG3056 of mouth. 28For it seemedG1380 goodG1380 to the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and to us, to lay upon you no greaterG4183 burdenG922 than these necessary thingsG3778: 29that ye abstainG568 from thingsG3739 sacrificed to idols, and from bloodG129, and from thingsG3739 strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.
