Acts 15:16-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

16. After these things I will returnand rebuild David’s fallen tent.I will rebuild its ruinsand set it up again,

17. so the rest of humanitymay seek the Lord —even all the Gentileswho are called by My name,declares the Lord who does these things,

18. known from long ago.

19. Therefore, in my judgment, we should not cause difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God,

20. but instead we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from blood.

21. For since ancient times, Moses has had those who proclaim him in every city, and every Sabbath day he is read aloud in the synagogues.”
