22ThenG5119 theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 theG3588 wholeG3650 churchG1577, decidedG1380 to selectG1586 menG435 from amongG1537 themG846 to sendG3992 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921. They chose JudasG2455 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 andG2532 SilasG4609, two leadersG2233G435 amongG1722 theG3588 brothersG80, 23and sent them with this letterG1223G846G5495:

TheG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245, your brothersG80,

To theG3588 brothersG80 amongG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490, SyriaG4947, andG2532 CiliciaG2791:

GreetingsG5463.

24It has come to our attentionG1894G191 thatG3754 someG5100 went outG1831 fromG1537 usG1473 without our authorizationG3739G3756G1291 and unsettledG5015 youG4771, troublingG384 yourG4771 mindsG5590 by what they saidG3056.1 25So we all agreedG1380G1096G3661G1473 to chooseG1586 menG435 to sendG3992 toG4314 youG4771 along withG4862 ourG1473 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, 26menG444 who have riskedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 theG3588 nameG3686 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 27ThereforeG3767 we are sendingG649 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609 to tell youG518 in person theG3588 same thingsG846 we are writing.

It seemed goodG1380 to theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 to usG1473 notG3367 to burdenG2007G922 youG4771 with anything beyondG4119G4133 theseG3778 essential requirementsG1876: 29You must abstainG568 from food sacrificed to idolsG1494, from bloodG129, from the meat of strangled animalsG4156, andG2532 from sexual immoralityG4202. You will doG4238 wellG2095 to avoidG1301G1438G1537 these thingsG3739.

FarewellG4517.
