Acts 15:14-20

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

¹⁵This 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

¹⁷that the rest of men may seek after the Lord; all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

¹⁸“All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.

¹⁹Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

²⁰but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
