Acts 15:22-29 - The Letter From The Council
22 Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send men chosen from them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, 23 after writing by their hand these things:The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those down in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, to the brothers of the Gentiles, greeting.
24 Since we have heard that certain men who went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls, saying to be circumcised, and to keep the law, to whom we did not command, 25 it was decided by us, having become unanimous, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, themselves also declaring the same things by speech. 28 For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things: 29 to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
