Acts 15:25-30 in English

²⁵ it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.

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

²⁹ that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.

³⁰ So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.

²⁵ It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

²⁹ That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

³⁰ So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

²⁵ it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

²⁹ that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.

³⁰ So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.

²⁵ So while we(exc) met together here, we decided to choose some men and ask them to go to you, along with Barnabas and Paul, whom we (exc) love very much.

²⁶ Those two have put their lives in danger because of their serving our Lord MTY Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We (exc) have also chosen Judas and Silas to go to you. They will tell you the same things that we are writing.

²⁸ The Holy Spirit and also we decided that you should not be required {that we should not require you} to obey a lot of burdensome Jewish laws. Instead, we only require you to obey the following instructions,

²⁹ You should not eat food that people have sacrificed to idols. You should not eat blood from animals, and you should not eat meat from animals that people have killed by strangling them. Also, you should not have sex with someone to whom you are not married. Those things especially offend Jewish believers. So if you avoid doing them, you will be doing what is right. That is all.”

³⁰ The four men whom they had chosen went from Jerusalem to Antioch city. When all the believers there had assembled together, Judas and Silas gave the letter to them.

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

²⁹ that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

³⁰ So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

²⁹ that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

³⁰ So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

²⁹ that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

³⁰ So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

²⁵ It seemed good to us, having come to an agreement together, to send these men to you, with our well loved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ Men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to put on you nothing more than these necessary things;

²⁹ To keep from things offered to false gods, and from blood, and from things put to death in ways which are against the law, and from the evil desires of the body; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. May you be happy.

³⁰ So they, being sent away, came down to Antioch, and having got the people together, they gave them the letter.

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will tell you by word of mouth the same things.

²⁸ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

²⁹ to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.

³⁰ They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to them the epistle.

²⁵ It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:

²⁶ Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.

²⁸ For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:

²⁹ That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.

³⁰ They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.

²⁵ it seemed best to us, being like-minded, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved brothers Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed best to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to put on you no greater burden except for these necessary things:

²⁹ that you abstain from meat offered to idols, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from sexual immorality; from which keeping yourselves back, you will do well. Farewell.

³⁰ Then having been dismissed, they came to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

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

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

²⁷ So we have sent Judas and Silas, who will also confirm these things by word of mouth.

²⁸ It seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to place no greater burden upon you than these necessary things:

²⁹ to abstain from things offered to idols, from ‘blood’, from anything strangled and from fornication; it will be in your own best interest to keep away from these things. Farewell.”

³⁰ So when they were sent off they came to Antioch, and gathering the crowd they delivered the letter.

²⁵ So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷ So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.

²⁸ It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.

²⁹ You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”

³⁰ The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.

²⁵ It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.

²⁷ We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,

²⁹ That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.

³⁰ Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.

²⁵ it seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

²⁹ that ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

³⁰ So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to choose men and send them to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁶ men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will themselves tell you the same things by word of mouth.

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

²⁹ to abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Farewell.”

³⁰ They therefore being sent away came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

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

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

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

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

²⁹ That 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.’

³⁰ So the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the followers,

³⁰ So the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the followers,

²⁵ So we met together and picked some messengers, and we are sending them with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul.

²⁶ You know, Barnabas and Paul work for our leader Jesus Christ and people tried to kill them for doing that.

²⁷ We are sending Judas and Silas with them, and they will tell you the same things that we are writing in this letter.

²⁸ The Holy Spirit told us that you don’t need to get that young man’s operation. That’s the way we think, too. So we are telling you to just follows these rules, –

²⁹ If somebody gives food to a sacred statue, don’t you eat any of that food. – And don’t eat blood. – And if somebody strangles an animal, don’t eat its meat. – And don’t sleep with people that you are not married to, as if they are they are your wives or husbands. Make sure you don’t do those things, and you will be all right. That’s our message to you now. Goodbye.”
