They wrote this ,
letter by them :
The apostles ,
the elders ,
and the brethren ,
To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch ,
Syria ,
and Cilicia :
Greetings .
*
Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words ,
unsettling your souls ,
saying , "
You must be circumcised and keep the law " --
to whom we gave no such commandment --
*
it seemed good to us ,
being assembled with one accord ,
to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul ,
*
men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas ,
who will also report the same things by word of mouth .
*
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit ,
and to us ,
to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things :
*
that you abstain from things offered to idols ,
from blood ,
from things strangled ,
and from sexual immorality .
If you keep yourselves from these ,
you will do well .
Farewell .
