Acts 15:22-29 - The Letter From The Council
22 Then it seemed fitting to the sent and the elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren: 23 Having written by their hand thus; The sent and elders and brethren to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia from the nations, health:
24 Since we heard that certain of us having come out have troubled you with words, destroying your souls, saying, To be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we sent no word: 25 It seemed fitting to us, having been unanimous, to send to you chosen men with our dearly beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 Men having delivered up their souls for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore have we sent Judas and Silas, and these by the word announcing these things. 28 For it seemed fitting to the Holy Spirit, and to us, for no more burden to be put upon you but the necessities of these; 29 To keep off from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and strangulation, and harlotry: from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
