I will rebuild its ruins and restore it, 17 so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord, including all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord, who does these things' 18 '—things known long ago.' 19 Therefore, my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead, we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, sexual immorality, meat that has been strangled, and blood. 21 For Moses has had those who proclaim him in every city from ancient generations, being read in the synagogues on every Sabbath. 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas, called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers. 23 They wrote this letter to be delivered by them: "The apostles and elders, your brothers, to the brothers and sisters among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some have gone out from us and troubled you with teachings, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no such instructions, 25 It seemed good to us, being in agreement, to choose 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 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place any greater burden on you except these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.

But when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision group. 13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, 'If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?'
