James's Judgment and Apostolic Decree

Acts 15:13-21

And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:

Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,

Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.

Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;

but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
