25
we have unanimously decided to select men and send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27
Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who will personally report the same things by word of mouth.
28
For it was the Holy Spirit's decision-and ours-to put no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29
that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. Farewell.
