Acts 15:13-29
13AndG1161 afterG3326 they heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435, brethrenG80, hearkenG191 to meG3450: 14SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 visitedG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 from amongG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686. 15AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, 16AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 itsG846 ruinsG2679, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461: 17ThatG3704G302 the restG2645 of menG444 may seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941G1909G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023. 18KnownG1110 to GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165. 19ThereforeG1352 myG1473 judgment isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whoG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316: 20ButG235 that we writeG1989 to themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from immoralityG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129. 21ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596G3956 sabbathG4521.
22ThenG5119 it pleasedG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80: 23And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 to the brethrenG80 whoG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791: 24Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 who went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291: 25It seemed goodG1380 to usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 toG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, 26MenG444 that have riskedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 27We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056.1 28ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876; 29That ye abstainG567 from things offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from immoralityG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
