Actes 15:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:26

for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the sake of his Gospel, and the enlargement of his interest, and kingdom in the world; and therefore were worthy of esteem, and ought to be regarded and attended to, and greatly to be preferred to false teachers; who only sought themselves, their worldly honour, and ease, and would sacrifice nothing, nor hazard anything, for the sake of Christ.

28 Car il a paru bon au Saint-Esprit et à nous, de ne point vous imposer d'autres charges que les nécessaires;
