  • Acts 15:6-9 : 6 And the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up and said to them, Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as He did to us; 9 and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12 Then all the multitude kept silent, and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring what miracles and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles by them. 13 And after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 Simeon has declared how God at first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And this agrees with the words of the prophets, as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; and I will build again its ruins, and I will set it up: 17 That the rest of mankind might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the Lord, who does all these things. 18 Known to God are all His works from the beginning of the world. 19 Therefore, my judgment is that we should not trouble those who from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. 22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also called Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren. 23 And they wrote letters by them in this way: The apostles, elders, and brethren, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia, greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, You must be circumcised and keep the law—to whom we gave no such commandment— 25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men 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 therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you the same things by 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 you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.
