Acts 15:24-32

1. 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

2. 25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

3. 26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

4. 27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

5. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

6. 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.

7. 30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

8. 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

9. 32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
