Acts 15:11-21

11 But we ¹believe that we will be ²saved through ³the grace of the Lord Jesus, ⁴just as they will."

12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul ⁵as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

13 After they finished speaking, ⁶James replied, "Brothers, listen to me.

14 ⁷Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them ⁸a people for his name.

15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,

16 ⁹"'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,

17 that the remnant^[a] of mankind ¹⁰may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles ¹¹who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things

18 ¹²known from of old.'

19 Therefore ¹³my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who ¹⁴turn to God,

20 but should write to them ¹⁵to abstain from ¹⁶the things polluted by idols, and from ¹⁷sexual immorality, and from ¹⁸what has been strangled, and from ¹⁹blood.

21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, ²⁰for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues."
