Acts 15:14-21

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

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

¹⁶After 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:

¹⁷That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,

¹⁸Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.

¹⁹Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;

²⁰but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

²¹For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
