Acts 15:25-29

²⁵it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul —

²⁶men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —

²⁷we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.

²⁸'For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:

²⁹to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'
