23 Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who (a)(A)are under a vow; 24 take them and (B)purify yourself along with them, and (b)pay their expenses so that they may (C)shave their (c)heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, (D)having decided that they should abstain from (d)meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.” 26 Then Paul (e)took the men, and the next day, (E)purifying himself along with them, (F)went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
