Acts 15:24-29

24We have heard that some individuals who came from us have confused you with statements that disturb you. We did not authorize these men ⌞to speak⌟.

25So we have come to a unanimous decision that we should choose men and send them to you with our dear Barnabas and Paul.

26Barnabas and Paul have dedicated their lives to our Lord, the one named Jesus Christ.

27We have sent Judas and Silas to report to you on our decision.

28The Holy Spirit and we have agreed not to place any additional burdens on you. Do only what is necessary

29by keeping away from food sacrificed to false gods, from eating bloody meat, from eating the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual sins. If you avoid these things, you will be doing what’s right. Farewell!
