Acts 15:23-29
New Living Translation
23 This is the letter they took with them:
“This letter is from the apostles and elders, your brothers in Jerusalem. It is written to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia. Greetings!
24 “We understand that some men from here have troubled you and upset you with their teaching, but we did not send them! 25 So we decided, having come to complete agreement, to send you official representatives, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We are sending Judas and Silas to confirm what we have decided concerning your question.
28 “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no greater burden on you than these few requirements: 29 You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell.”

23 With them they sent the following letter:
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch,(A) Syria(B) and Cilicia:(C)
Greetings.(D)
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.(E) 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives(F) for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas(G) to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit(H) and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.(I) You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
