Acts 15:15-23

¹⁵And to this agreith the wordes of the Prophetes as it is written.

¹⁶After this I will returne and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune and that which is fallen in dekey of it will I bilde agayne and I will set it vp

¹⁷that the residue of men might seke after the Lorde and also the gentyls vpo whom my name is named saith the Lorde which doth all these thinges:

¹⁸knowne vnto God are all his workes from the begynninge of the worlde.

¹⁹Wherfore my sentence is that we trouble not them which from amonge the gentyls are turned to God:

²⁰but that we write vnto them that they abstayne them selves from filthynes of ymages from fornicacion from straglyd and from bloude.

²¹For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye.

²²Then pleased it the Apostles and elders with the whole congregacion to sende chosyn men of their owne company to Antioche with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Iudas called also Barsabas and Silas which were chefe men amonge the brethren

²³and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethren which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.
