Acts 15:13-21

13 WhenG3326 theyG846 had finished speakingG4601, JamesG2385 declaredG611 , “BrothersG435 G80, listen toG191 meG1473! 14SimonG4826 1 has told usG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 firstG4412 visitedG1980 the Gentiles to takeG2983 fromG1537 them a peopleG2992 to be HisG846 own. 15 TheG3588 wordsG3056 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 agreeG4856 with thisG3778, asG2531 it is writtenG1125:

16‘AfterG3326 this I will returnG390 andG2532 rebuildG456 the fallenG4098 tentG4633 of DavidG1138 .ItsG846 ruinsG2679 I will rebuildG456,andG2532 I will restore itG461 G846,17so thatG3704 theG3588 remnantG2645 of menG444 may seekG302 G1567 theG3588 LordG2962,andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 GentilesG1484 whoG3739 are calledG1941 by MyG1473 nameG3686 ,saysG3004 the LordG2962 who doesG4160 these thingsG377818that have been knownG1110 forG575 agesG165.’2

19It is myG1473 judgmentG2919, thereforeG1352, that we should not cause trouble forG3361 G3926 theG3588 GentilesG1484 who are turningG1994 toG1909 GodG2316. 20InsteadG235, we should writeG1989 and tell themG846 to abstain fromG568 food pollutedG234 by idolsG1497, from sexual immoralityG4202, from theG3588 meat of strangled animalsG4156, andG2532 fromG3588 bloodG129. 21ForG1063 MosesG3475 hasG2192 been proclaimedG2784 in everyG2596 cityG4172 fromG1537 ancientG744 timesG1074 and is readG314 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 onG2596 everyG3956 SabbathG4521.”
