New Testament

Acts 15:25-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

25. So we all agreed to send our dear friends Barnabas and Paul to you. We chose some others to go with them.

26. Barnabas and Paul have put their lives in danger for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27. So we are sending Judas and Silas with them. What they say will agree with this letter.

28. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to give you a load that is too heavy. So here are a few basic rules.

29. Don't eat food that has been offered to statues of gods. Don't drink blood. Don't eat the meat of animals that have been choked to death. And don't commit sexual sins. You will do well to keep away from these things. Farewell.

30. The men were sent down to Antioch. There they gathered the church together. They gave the letter to them.
