Acts 15:11-16 in English

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.

¹² And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:

¹⁴ Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁶ After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

¹¹ But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

¹² Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

¹⁴ Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁶ After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.

¹² And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:

¹⁴ Symeon hath rehearsed how first God did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁶ After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

¹¹ But we (inc) know that it is not because we (inc) try to obey those laws that God saves us(inc) Jews. On the contrary, we (inc) know that it is because of what the Lord Jesus did for us (inc) that we did not deserve that we (inc) are saved {that God saves us} from the guilt of our sins. God saves non-Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus exactly like he saves us Jews.”

¹² All the people there became silent after Peter had spoken. Then they all listened to Barnabas and Paul, as the two of them told about the many great miracles that God had enabled them to do among the non-Jewish people, miracles that showed that God had accepted the non-Jews.

¹³ When Barnabas and Paul had finished speaking, James, the leader of the group of believers there in Jerusalem, spoke to all of them. He said, “Fellow believers, listen to me.

¹⁴ Simon Peter has told you how God previously blessed the non-Jews. God did that by choosing from among them a people who would belong to him MTY.

¹⁵ These words that God spoke, words that were written by one of the prophets {that one of the prophets wrote} long ago, agree with that:

¹⁶ Later on I will return and I will re-establish the kingdom MET that David ruled and that has been {that people have} destroyed. My doing that will be like rebuilding a house that has been {that people have} torn down.

¹¹ But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

¹² All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

¹³ After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁴ Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

¹⁶ ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up

¹¹ But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

¹² All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

¹³ After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁵ This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

¹⁶ ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up

¹¹ But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

¹² And all the people were quiet while Barnabas and Paul gave an account of the signs and wonders which God had done among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And when they had come to an end, James, answering, said, My brothers, give ear to me:

¹⁴ Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.

¹⁵ And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,

¹⁶ After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also.

¹² And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, listen to me:

¹⁴ Simon has related how God first visited to take out of the nations a people for his name.

¹⁵ And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written:

¹⁶ After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up,

¹¹ But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.

¹² And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.

¹¹ But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe that we will be saved in the same manner as they.”

¹² Then all the multitude stopped speaking and listened to Barnabas and Paul telling as many signs and wonders as God had done among the Gentiles through them.

¹³ Now after they had finished speaking, James answered, saying, “Men and brothers, listen to me:

¹⁴ Simeon has related how God first visited them to take from the Gentiles a people for His name.

¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

¹⁶ ‘After this I will return, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, which has fallen; and its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

¹¹ Rather, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.”

¹² Then the whole assembly kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the ethnic nations through them.

¹³ Now when they finished, James reacted saying: “Men, brothers, listen to me.

¹⁴ Simeon has described how God first intervened to extract from the Gentiles a people for His name.

¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

¹⁶ ‘After these things I will return, and I will rebuild David's tent, the fallen one; yes, I will rebuild its ruins and restore it;

¹¹ We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”

¹² Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.

¹³ After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁴ Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.

¹⁵ This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,

¹⁶ ‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.

¹¹ But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.

¹² Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.

¹⁴ Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.

¹⁵ And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,

¹⁶ After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,

¹¹ But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

¹² Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹³ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

¹⁴ Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁶ After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.

¹² And all the multitude became silent, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they related what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the gentiles by them.

¹³ And after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.

¹⁴ Simeon hath related how God first visited the gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵ And with this agree the words of the Prophets, as it is written:

¹⁶ “After this I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which hath fallen; and I will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up;

¹¹ No, it is through the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.”

¹² Every voice in the assembly was hushed, as they listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they gave an account of all the signs and wonders which God had shown amongst the Gentiles through them.

¹³ After they had finished speaking, James addressed the Council. “Friends,” he began, “hear what I have to say.

¹⁴ Simon has described the manner in which God first visited the Gentiles, in order to take from amongst them a people to bear his name.

¹⁵ And that is in harmony with the words of the prophets, where they say —

¹⁶ ‘After this I will return; And I will rebuild the house of David which has fallen — Its ruins I will rebuild, And will set it up once more;

¹¹ No, it is through the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.”

¹¹ But our leader, Jesus, is good to everybody in the same way. We believe in him, and he saves us.”

¹² Then everyone stopped talking and listened to Barnabas and Paul. They told everyone that God gave them power to do great things for the people that are not Jews.

¹³ They finished talking, then a man called James stood up and said, “My friends, listen to me.

¹⁴ Peter just told us about the first time God showed everyone that he loves those people that are not Jews, and that he picked some of them to be his own people.

¹⁵ A long time ago God’s men told that same message. They wrote,

¹⁶ ‘God said, “I will come back later and I will fix up David’s family again. They are like a tent that broke and fell down. But I will fix them up and make them strong again.

¹¹ But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we shalbe saved as they doo.
