AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG1473: 14SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG3588G2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out of themG1537 a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3588G3686. 15AndG2532 to thisG3778 agreeG4856 the wordsG3588G3056 of the prophetsG3588G4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, 16AfterG3326 thisG3778 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG3588G4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461: 17ThatG3704 the residueG3588G2645 of menG3588G444 might seekG1567 after the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG3588G1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG1473 nameG3588G3686 is calledG1941, saithG3004 the LordG2962, who doethG3588G4160 allG3956 these thingsG3778. 18KnownG1110 unto GodG3588G2316 areG1510 allG3956 hisG846 worksG3588G2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165. 19WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG3588G1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG3588G2316: 20ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG568 fromG575 pollutionsG3588G234 of idolsG3588G1497, andG2532 from fornicationG3588G4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG3588G129. 21ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 themG3588 that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864 everyG3956 sabbath dayG4521. 22ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 AssemblyG3588G1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG3588G80: 23And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG3588G80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG3588G490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791: 24Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG1473 have troubledG5015 youG4771 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG4771 soulsG3588G5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3588G3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291: 25It seemed goodG1380 unto usG1473, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG4771 withG4862 ourG1473 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, 26MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG3588G5590 forG5228 the nameG3588G3686 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 27We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. 28ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG1473, to lay uponG2007 youG4771 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG3778 necessaryG1876 thingsG3778; 29That ye abstainG568 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
