Acts 15:14-21

¹⁴Simon has told how God first graciously helped the Gentiles in order to take from them a people for his name.

¹⁵The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written,

¹⁶'After these things I will return, and I will build again the tent of David, which has fallen down; I will set up and restore its ruins again,

¹⁷so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, including all the Gentiles called by my name.'

¹⁸This is what the Lord says, who has done these things that have been known from ancient times.

¹⁹Therefore, my opinion is, that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God.

²⁰But we will write to them that they must keep away from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, and from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.

²¹For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from the ancient times and he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
