Acts 15:25-29

²⁵We met and decided to choose certain men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

²⁷We are accordingly sending Judas and Silas, and they will tell you by word of mouth what we are now writing.

²⁸We have, therefore, decided, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lay no further burden on you beyond these necessary conditions —

²⁹That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from impurity. If you guard yourselves against such things, it will be well with you. Farewell.’
