Deeds (Act) of Apostles 15:22-29

²²Then it pleased to the apostles, and to the elder men, with all the church, to choose men of them, and send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, Judas, that was named Barsabas, and Silas, the first men among brethren;

²³and wrote by the hands of them, Apostles and elder brethren to them that be at Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren of heathen men, greeting.

²⁴For we heard that some went out from us, and troubled you with words, and turned upside-down your souls, to which men we commanded not,

²⁵it pleased to us gathered into one, to choose men, and send to you, with our most dearworthy Barnabas and Paul,

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

²⁷Therefore we sent Judas and Silas, and they shall tell the same things to you by words.

²⁸For it is seen to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to put to you nothing more of charge, than these needful things,

²⁹that ye abstain you from the offered things of maumets or simu-lacra, and blood strangled, and forni-cation. From which ye keeping you, shall do well. Fare ye well.
