James's Judgment and Apostolic Decree

Acts 15:13-21

and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men, brethren, hearken to me;

Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,

and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:

After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright--

that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

`Known from the ages to God are all His works;

wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,

but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him--in the synagogues every sabbath being read.'
