Acts 15:18-26

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.

²⁴For as moche as we have hearde that certayne which departed from vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche commaundement.

²⁵It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul

²⁶men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.
