Acts 15:23-30 And wrote a letter containing what follows. The apostles and elders, and brethren, send greeting unto the brethren of the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And wrote a letter containing what follows. The apostles and elders, [and] brethren, send greeting unto the brethren of the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia. ²⁴ Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls; to whom we gave no commandment: ²⁵ It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send out chosen men unto you, with your beloved Barnabas and Paul; ²⁶ Men that have hazarded their lives to every temptation, for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell the same things by word. ²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no other burden than these necessary things; ²⁹ That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from fornication: And what things ye would not have done to your selves, not to do to another: from which if ye keep your selves ye shall do well, as moved by the Holy Spirit. Fare ye well. ³⁰ So when they were dismissed, they came in a few days down to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
