Deeds (Act) of Apostles 15:25-29

²⁵it pleased to us gathered into one, to choose men, and send (them) 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, (For it is seen by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to put no other burden upon you, other than these necessary things,)

²⁹that ye abstain you from the offered things of maumets or of simulacra, and blood strangled, and fornication, (or that ye abstain yourselves from the food offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled things, and from fornication). From which ye keeping you(rselves), shall do well. Fare ye well.
