Acts 15:1-10

11SomeG5100 menG5100 cameG2718 downG2718 from JudeaG2449 and began teachingG1321 2the brothersG80, “UnlessG1437G3361 you are 3circumcisedG4059 according to 4the customG1485 of MosesG3475, you cannotG1410G3756 be savedG4982.” 2And after PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 hadG1096 5a heatedG3756G3641 argumentG4714 and 6debateG2214 with them, 7the brothers determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 and someG5100 othersG243 of them should goG305 upG305 to JerusalemG2419 to the 8apostlesG652 and eldersG4245 concerningG4012 thisG3778 issueG2213. 3ThereforeG3767, after being 9sentG4311 onG4311 their wayG4311 by the churchG1577, they were passingG1330 throughG1330 bothG5037 10PhoeniciaG5403 and SamariaG4540, 11describingG1555 inG1555 detailG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484, and they were bringingG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 to allG3956 12the brothersG80 and sisters. 4When they arrivedG3854 in JerusalemG2414, they were receivedG3858 by the churchG1577, 13the apostlesG652, and the eldersG4245, and they 14reportedG312 allG3745 thatG3745 GodG2316 had doneG4160 with them. 5But someG5100 of 15the sectG139 of the 16PhariseesG5330 who had believedG4100 stoodG1817 upG1817, sayingG3004, “It is necessaryG1163 to 17circumciseG4059 18them and to directG3853 them to keepG5083 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475.”

619The apostlesG652 and the eldersG4245 cameG4863 togetherG4863 to 20lookG3708 into thisG3778 21matterG3056. 7After there had beenG1096 muchG4183 22debateG2214, PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 and saidG3004 to them, “23BrothersG435G80, you knowG1987 that 24in the earlyG744 daysG2250 25GodG2316 madeG1586 aG1586 choiceG1586 amongG1722 you, that by my mouthG4750 the GentilesG1484 would hearG191 the wordG3056 of 26the gospelG2098 and believeG4100. 8And GodG2316, 27whoG2589 knowsG2589 theG2589 heartG2589, testifiedG3140 to them 28givingG1325 them the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, justG2531 asG2531 He alsoG2532 did to us; 9and 29He madeG1252 noG3762 distinctionG1252 betweenG3342 us and them, 30cleansingG2511 their heartsG2588 by faithG4102. 10SinceG3767 thisG3568 is the caseG3568, whyG5101 are you 31puttingG3985 GodG2316 toG3985 theG3985 testG3985 by placingG2007 upon the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101 a yokeG2218 whichG3739 32neitherG3777 our forefathersG3962 norG3777 we have beenG2480 ableG2480 to bearG941?
