ISV(i)
24 We have heard that some men, coming from us without instructions from us, have said things to trouble you and have unsettled you.
25 So we have unanimously decided to choose men and send them to you with our dear Barnabas and Paul,
26 who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.
27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any burden but these essential requirements:
29 to keep away from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from anything strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you avoid these things, you will do well. Goodbye.”
30 So the men were sent on their way and arrived in Antioch. They gathered the congregation together and delivered the letter.
