Acts 15:11-21

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

¹²And 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.

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

¹⁴Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.

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

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

¹⁷That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.

¹⁸To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world.

¹⁹For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.

²⁰But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²¹For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
