Acts 15:14-20

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

¹⁵And 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,

¹⁷in order that the rest of men may seek out the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does all these things.’

¹⁸“Known from everlasting to God are all His works.

¹⁹Therefore I judge that we must not cause trouble for those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles;

²⁰but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.
