Acts 15:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:19

Wherefore my sentence is
Opinion or judgment in this case, or what he reckoned most advisable to be done; for he did not impose his sense upon the whole body, but proposed it to them:

which from among the Gentiles are turned to God;
the one true and living God, Father, Son, and Spirit, and from idols, and the worshipping of them.
