Acts 15:2-23

2AndG2532 whenG2532 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 had noG3756 smallG3641 dissension andG2532 questioning withG4314 themG846, theG3588 brethren appointedG5021 thatG3778 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, shouldG5100 goG305 upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 unto theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG3778 question.

3TheyG3767 thereforeG3767, being brought onG4311 theirG2532 wayG4311 byG5259 theG3956 churchG1577, passedG1330 throughG1330 bothG5037 PhoeniciaG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaring theG3956 conversionG1995 ofG1577 theG3956 GentilesG1484: andG2532 theyG3767 causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 theG3956 brethrenG80.

4AndG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, theyG846 were receivedG3858 ofG575 theG3588 churchG1577 andG2532 theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245, andG2532 theyG846 rehearsed allG3745 thingsG846 thatG846 GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.

5ButG1161 thereG1161 rose upG1210 certainG5100 ofG575 theG3588 sectG139 ofG575 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 whoG3588 believedG4100, sayingG3004, ItG846 is needful toG3004 circumciseG4059 themG846, andG1161 toG3004 chargeG3853 themG846 toG3004 keepG5083 theG3588 lawG3551 ofG575 MosesG3475.

6AndG2532 theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 toG2532 considerG3056 ofG3056 thisG3778 matterG3056.

7AndG2532 whenG2532 thereG1722 had beenG1096 muchG4183 questioning, PeterG4074 roseG450 upG450, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, BrethrenG80, ye knowG1987 howG3754 thatG3754 a goodG2098 whileG1722 agoG575 GodG2316 madeG1096 choiceG1586 amongG1722 youG5210, thatG3754 byG1722 myG191 mouthG4750 theG3588 GentilesG1484 shouldG80 hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 theG3588 gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.

8AndG2532 GodG2316, whichG3588 knoweth theG3588 heartG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 theG3588 HolyG40 Ghost, evenG2532 asG2531 heG2532 didG1325 unto usG1325;

9andG2532 heG2532 madeG1252 noG3762 distinctionG1252 betweenG3342 us andG2532 themG846, cleansingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 byG2532 faithG4102.

10NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 temptG3985 ye GodG2316, thatG3739 ye shouldG2316 putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 theG3588 neckG5137 ofG2316 theG3588 disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2316 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 toG1909 bearG941?

11ButG235 weG3739 believeG4100 thatG3739 weG3739 shallG2962 beG2962 savedG4982 throughG1223 theG3588 graceG5485 ofG1223 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424, inG2596 likeG2596 manner asG2596 theyG3739.

12AndG2532 allG3956 theG3956 multitudeG4128 keptG4601 silence; andG2532 theyG846 hearkened unto BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972 rehearsing whatG3588 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wrought amongG1722 theG3956 GentilesG1484 byG1722 themG846.

13AndG1161 afterG3326 theyG846 had held theirG846 peace, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, BrethrenG80, hearken unto meG3004:

14Symeon hath rehearsed howG2531 firstG4413 GodG2316 did visitG1980 theG3588 GentilesG1484, toG846 takeG2983 outG1537 ofG1537 themG846 a peopleG2992 forG2316 hisG846 nameG3686.

15AndG2532 toG2532 thisG3778 agreeG4856 theG3588 wordsG3056 ofG3056 theG3588 prophetsG4396; asG2531 itG3778 is writtenG1125,

16AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 IG2532 willG3778 returnG390, AndG2532 IG2532 willG3778 build againG461 theG3588 tabernacleG4633 ofG3588 DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallenG4098; AndG2532 IG2532 willG3778 build againG461 theG3588 ruinsG2690 thereof, AndG2532 IG2532 willG3778 set itG846 up:

17ThatG3739 theG3956 residue ofG2962 menG444 mayG2532 seek afterG2532 theG3956 LordG2962, AndG2532 allG3956 theG3956 GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3956 nameG3686 is calledG3004,

18Saith theG575 Lord, who maketh these things knownG1110 fromG575 theG575 beginningG165 ofG575 theG575 worldG165.

19WhereforeG1352 myG2316 judgmentG2919 is, thatG2316 weG1352 troubleG3926 notG3361 themG1909 whichG3588 fromG575 amongG1909 theG3588 GentilesG1484 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316;

20butG235 thatG846 weG2532 writeG1989 unto themG846, thatG846 theyG846 abstainG568 fromG568 theG3588 pollutions ofG129 idolsG1497, andG2532 fromG568 fornicationG4202, andG2532 fromG568 whatG3588 is strangledG4156, andG2532 fromG568 bloodG129.

21ForG1063 MosesG3475 fromG1537 generationsG1074 ofG1537 oldG744 hath inG1722 everyG3956 cityG4172 themG846 thatG3956 preachG2784 himG846, beingG2192 readG314 inG1722 theG3956 synagoguesG4864 everyG3956 sabbathG4521.

22ThenG2532 itG846 seemedG1380 goodG1380 toG1519 theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245, withG1722 theG3588 wholeG3650 churchG1577, toG1519 chooseG1586 menG435 outG1537 ofG1537 theirG846 company, andG2532 sendG3992 themG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG1722 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 theG3588 brethrenG80:

23andG2532 theyG846 wroteG1125 thusG2532 byG1223 themG846, TheG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 theG3588 elderG4245 brethrenG80 unto theG3588 brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 theG3588 GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, greetingG5463:
