Acts 15:10-11
15:10 So now why are you putting God to the test
by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke
that neither our ancestors
nor we have been able to bear?
15:11 On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through
the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are.”
Acts 15:19-21
15:19 “Therefore I conclude that we should not cause extra difficulty for those among the Gentiles who are turning to God,
15:20 but that we should write them a letter telling them to abstain from things defiled by idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled and from blood.
15:21 For Moses has had those who proclaim him in every town from ancient times, because he is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Acts 15:24
15:24 Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused
you, upsetting
your minds
by what they said,
Acts 15:28-29
15:28 For it seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us
not to place any greater burden on you than these necessary rules:
15:29 that you abstain from meat that has been sacrificed to idols
and from blood and from what has been strangled
and from sexual immorality.
If you keep yourselves from doing these things,
you will do well. Farewell.
