Wherefore

The scope of the decision goes far beyond the mere question of circumcision. The whole question of the relation of the law to Gentile believers had been put in issue ( Acts 15:5 ), and their exemption is declared in the decision ( Acts 15:19 Acts 15:24 ). The decision might be otherwise stated in the terms of Romans 6:14 . "Ye are not under the law, but under grace." Gentile believers were to show grace by abstaining from the practices offensive to godly Jews.
