Acts 15:22-29

22Then it seemed good to the emissaries and elders, with the whole community, to choose men from among themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judah (also called Barsabbas) and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

23and this letter along with them: “The emissaries and the elders, your brothers, To the Gentile brothers of Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings!

24Since we have heard that some from among us have troubled you with words disturbing to your souls, although we gave them no such authorization,

25it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—

26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

27We therefore have sent to you Judah and Silas, who themselves will report to you the same things by word of mouth.

28It seemed good to the Ruach ha-Kodesh and to us not to place on you any greater burden than these essentials:

29that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. By keeping away from these things, you will do well. Shalom!”
