44:015:017 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the
           Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who
           doeth all these things.

44:015:018 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the
           world.

44:015:019 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from
           among the Gentiles are turned to God: 

44:015:020 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions
           of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and
           from blood.

44:015:021 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
           being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

44:015:022 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church,
           to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul
           and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief
           men among the brethren: 

44:015:023 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles
           and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which
           are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.

44:015:024 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from
           us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls,
           saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law:  to whom we
           gave no such commandment: 

44:015:025 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to
           send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

44:015:026 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord
           Jesus Christ.

44:015:027 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
           you the same things by mouth.

44:015:028 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon
           you no greater burden than these necessary things;

44:015:029 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood,
           and from things strangled, and from fornication:  from which if
           ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well.  Fare ye well.

44:015:030 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch:  and when
           they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the
           epistle: 

44:015:031 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

44:015:032 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted
           the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

44:015:033 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in
           peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

44:015:034 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

44:015:035 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and
           preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
