Acts 15:29

29 ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum et sanguine suffocato et fornicatione a quibus custodientes vos bene agetis valete

Acts 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:29

That ye abstain from meats offered to idols
Which explains what is meant by pollutions of idols, ( Acts 15:20 )

and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication
(See Gill on Acts 15:20)

In Beza's most ancient copy, and in three other manuscripts, and in the Complutensian edition, it follows, "and whatsoever ye would not have done to yourselves, that do ye not to another"; in like manner the Ethiopic version also reads, as in ( Acts 15:20 ) "from which if ye keep yourselves ye shall do well"; it will be doing a good thing, and make for the peace of the churches; in Beza's most ancient copy it is added, "born", or "moved by the Holy Ghost": being influenced and assisted by him in this, and every good work:

fare ye well;
the Syriac version adds, "in our Lord".

Acts 15:29 In-Context

27 misimus ergo Iudam et Silam qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem
28 visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra inponere vobis oneris quam haec necessario
29 ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum et sanguine suffocato et fornicatione a quibus custodientes vos bene agetis valete
30 illi igitur dimissi descenderunt Antiochiam et congregata multitudine tradiderunt epistulam
31 quam cum legissent gavisi sunt super consolatione
