*
And after they had become silent ,
James answered ,
saying , "
Men and brethren ,
listen to me :
*
Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name .
*
And with this the words of the prophets agree ,
just as it is written :
* '
After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David ,
which has fallen down ;
I will rebuild its ruins ,
And I will set it up ;
*
So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD .
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name ,
Says the LORD who does all these things .'
* "
Known to God from eternity are all His works .
*
Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God ,
*
but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols ,
from sexual immorality ,
from things strangled ,
and from blood .
*
For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city ,
being read in the synagogues every Sabbath ."
