that you abstain from meat that has been sacrificed to idols<n id="1" /> and from blood and from what has been strangled<n id="2" /> and from sexual immorality.<n id="3" /> If you keep yourselves from doing these things,<n id="4" /> you will do well. Farewell.<n id="5" />p>

But Paul called out loudly,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Do not harm yourself,<n id="2" /> for we are all here!&#8221;

For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely<n id="1" /> to him,<n id="2" /> because I cannot believe<n id="3" /> that any of these things has escaped his notice,<n id="4" /> for this was not done in a corner.<n id="5" />
