1: And_G2532 certain ones_G5100 having come down_G2718 from_G0575 -_G3588 Judea_G2449 were teaching_G1321 the_G3588 brothers_G0080 -,_G3754 If_G1437 not_G3361 you are circumcised_G4059 according to the_G3588 custom_G1485 -_G3588 of Moses,_G3475 not_G3756 you are able_G1410 to be saved._G4982

2: Having been brought about_G1096 then_G1161 commotion_G4714 and_G2532 discussion_G2214 no_G3756 small_G3641 -_G3588 by Paul_G3972 and_G2532 -_G3588 Barnabas_G0921 with_G4314 them,_G0846 they appointed_G5021 to go up_G0305 Paul_G3972 and_G2532 Barnabas_G0921 and_G2532 certain_G5100 others_G0243 out from_G1537 them,_G0846 to_G4314 the_G3588 apostles_G0652 and_G2532 elders,_G4245 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2419 about_G4012 the_G3588 question_G2213 this._G3778

3: They_G3588 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 having been sent forward_G4311 by_G5259 the_G3588 church_G1577 were passing through_G1330 -_G3588 both_G5037 Phoenicia_G5403 and_G2532 Samaria,_G4540 relating in detail_G1555 the_G3588 conversion_G1995 of the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 and_G2532 they were bringing_G4160 joy_G5479 great_G3173 to all_G3956 the_G3588 brothers._G0080

4: Having come_G3854 then_G1161 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2414 they were welcomed_G3858 by_G0575 the_G3588 church_G1577 and_G2532 the_G3588 apostles_G0652 and_G2532 the_G3588 elders._G4245 They declared_G0312 then_G5037 all that_G3745 -_G3588 God_G2316 had done_G4160 with_G3326 them._G0846

5: Rose up_G1817 now_G1161 certain_G5100 of those_G3588 of_G0575 the_G3588 sect_G0139 of the_G3588 Pharisees_G5330 who believed,_G4100 saying_G3004 -,_G3754 It is necessary_G1163 to circumcise_G4059 them,_G0846 to command [them]_G3853 then_G5037 to keep_G5083 the_G3588 law_G3551 of Moses._G3475

6: Were gathered together_G4863 then_G5037 the_G3588 apostles_G0652 and_G2532 the_G3588 elders_G4245 to see_G3708 about_G4012 the_G3588 matter_G3056 this._G3778

7: Of much_G4183 now_G1161 discussion_G2214 having taken place,_G1096 having risen up,_G0450 Peter_G4074 said_G2036 to_G4314 them,_G0846 Men,_G0435 brothers,_G0080 you_G4771 know_G1987 that_G3754 from_G0575 days_G2250 early,_G0744 among_G1722 you_G4771 chose_G1586 -_G3588 God_G2316 by_G1223 the_G3588 mouth_G4750 of me_G1473 to hear_G0191 the_G3588 Gentiles_G1484 the_G3588 word_G3056 of the_G3588 gospel,_G2098 and_G2532 to believe._G4100

8: And_G2532 the_G3588 heart-knowing_G2589 God_G2316 bore witness_G3140 to them,_G0846 having given [them]_G1325 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 Holy,_G0040 as_G2531 also_G2532 to us,_G1473

9: and_G2532 not one_G3762 He made distinction_G1252 between_G3342 us_G1473 also_G5037 and_G2532 them,_G0846 by the_G3588 faith_G4102 having purified_G2511 the_G3588 hearts_G2588 of them._G0846

10: Now_G3568 therefore,_G3767 why_G5101 are you testing_G3985 -_G3588 God,_G2316 to put_G2007 a yoke_G2218 upon_G1909 the_G3588 neck_G5137 of the_G3588 disciples_G3101 that_G3739 neither_G3777 the_G3588 fathers_G3962 of us,_G1473 nor_G3777 we,_G1473 have been able_G2480 to bear?_G0941

11: But_G0235 by_G1223 the_G3588 grace_G5485 of_G3588 [the] Lord_G2962 Jesus,_G2424 we believe_G4100 to be saved,_G4982 in_G2596 [the] same_G3739 manner [as]_G5158 they also._G2548

12: Kept silent_G4601 now_G1161 all_G3956 the_G3588 multitude,_G4128 and_G2532 were listening to_G0191 Barnabas_G0921 and_G2532 Paul_G3972 relating_G1834 what_G3745 had done_G4160 -_G3588 God,_G2316 signs_G4592 and_G2532 wonders,_G5059 among_G1722 the_G3588 Gentiles_G1484 by_G1223 them._G0846

13: After_G3326 now_G1161 -_G3588 were silent_G4601 they,_G0846 answered_G0611 James,_G2385 saying,_G3004 Men,_G0435 brothers,_G0080 hear_G0191 me._G1473

14: Simeon_G4826 has related_G1834 how_G2531 first_G4412 -_G3588 God_G2316 visited,_G1980 to take_G2983 out of_G1537 [the] Gentiles_G1484 a people_G2992 for the_G3588 name_G3686 of Him._G0846

15: And_G2532 with this_G3778 agree_G4856 the_G3588 words_G3056 of the_G3588 prophets,_G4396 as_G2531 it is written:_G1125

16: After_G3326 these things_G3778 I will return_G0390 and_G2532 will rebuild_G0456 the_G3588 tabernacle_G4633 of David_G1138 which_G3588 has fallen,_G4098 and_G2532 the_G3588 ruins_G2679 of it_G0846 I will rebuild,_G0456 and_G2532 I will set upright_G0461 it,_G0846

17: so that_G3704 -_G0302 may seek out_G1567 the_G3588 remnant_G2645 -_G3588 of men_G0444 the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 and_G2532 all_G3956 the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 upon_G1909 whom_G3739 has been called_G1941 the_G3588 name_G3686 of Me_G1473 upon_G1909 them,_G0846 says_G3004 [the] Lord,_G2962 doing_G4160 these things,_G3778

18: known_G1110 from_G0575 eternity._G0165 are_G1510 -_G3588 to God_G2316 all_G3956 the_G3588 works_G2041 of him._G0847

19: Therefore_G1352 I_G1473 judge_G2919 not_G3361 to trouble_G3926 those who,_G3588 from_G0575 the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 are turning_G1994 to_G1909 -_G3588 God,_G2316

20: but_G0235 to write_G1989 to them_G0846 -_G3588 to abstain from_G0568 the_G3588 pollutions_G0234 of the_G3588 idols,_G1497 and_G2532 -_G3588 sexual immorality,_G4202 and_G2532 that_G3588 which is strangled,_G4156 and_G2532 from_G3588 blood._G0129

21: Moses_G3475 for_G1063 from_G1537 generations_G1074 of old,_G0744 in every_G2596 city_G4172 [ones]_G3588 proclaiming_G2784 him_G0846 has,_G2192 in_G1722 the_G3588 synagogues_G4864 on_G2596 every_G3956 Sabbath_G4521 being read._G0314

22: Then_G5119 it seemed good_G1380 to the_G3588 apostles_G0652 and_G2532 to the_G3588 elders,_G4245 with_G4862 all_G3650 the_G3588 church,_G1577 having chosen_G1586 men_G0435 out from_G1537 them,_G0846 to send_G3992 to_G1519 Antioch_G0490 with_G4862 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 and_G2532 Barnabas:_G0921 Judas_G2455 -_G3588 called_G2564 Barsabbas,_G0923 and_G2532 Silas,_G4609 men_G0435 leading_G2233 among_G1722 the_G3588 brothers,_G0080

23: having written_G1125 by_G1223 [the] hand_G5495 of them:_G0846 The_G3588 apostles_G0652 and_G2532 the_G3588 elders,_G4245 brothers,_G0080 To those_G3588 in_G2596 -_G3588 Antioch_G0490 and_G2532 Syria_G4947 and_G2532 Cilicia,_G2791 brothers_G0080 -_G3588 among_G1537 the Gentiles:_G1484 Greetings._G5463

24: Inasmuch as_G1894 we have heard_G0191 that_G3754 some_G5100 from_G1537 us_G1473 went out_G1831 troubled_G5015 you_G4771 by words,_G3056 upsetting_G0384 the_G3588 minds_G5590 of you,_G4771 saying_G3004 [you must] be circumcised_G4059 and_G2532 keep_G5083 the_G3588 law,_G3551 to whom_G3739 not_G3756 we had given instructions,_G1291

25: it seemed good_G1380 to us_G1473 having come_G1096 with one accord,_G3661 having chosen_G1586 men,_G0435 to send_G3992 to_G4314 you,_G4771 with_G4862 the_G3588 beloved_G0027 of us,_G1473 Barnabas_G0921 and_G2532 Paul,_G3972

26: men_G0444 having handed over_G3860 the_G3588 lives_G5590 of them_G0846 for_G5228 the_G3588 name_G3686 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 of us,_G1473 Jesus_G2424 Christ._G5547

27: We have sent_G0649 therefore_G3767 Judas_G2455 and_G2532 Silas,_G4609 and_G2532 they_G0846 by_G1223 word [of mouth]_G3056 are telling [you]_G0518 the_G3588 same things._G0846

28: It seemed good_G1380 for_G1063 to the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 Holy_G0040 and_G2532 to us,_G1473 no_G3367 further_G4119 to lay_G2007 upon you_G4771 burden,_G0922 except_G4133 these_G3778 -_G3588 necessary things:_G1876

29: to abstain_G0568 from things sacrificed to idols,_G1494 and_G2532 from blood,_G0129 and_G2532 from what is strangled,_G4156 and_G2532 from sexual immorality._G4202 From_G1537 these_G3739 keeping_G1301 yourselves,_G1438 well_G2095 you will do._G4238 Farewell._G4517

30: They_G3588 indeed_G3303 therefore,_G3767 having been sent off,_G0630 went_G2718 to_G1519 Antioch,_G0490 and_G2532 having gathered_G4863 the_G3588 multitude,_G4128 they delivered_G1929 the_G3588 letter._G1992

31: Having read [it]_G0314 now,_G1161 they rejoiced_G5463 at_G1909 the_G3588 encouragement._G3874

32: Judas_G2455 both_G5037 and_G2532 Silas,_G4609 also_G2532 themselves_G0846 prophets_G4396 being,_G1510 by_G1223 talk_G3056 much_G4183 exhorted_G3870 the_G3588 brothers_G0080 and_G2532 strengthened [them]._G1991

33: Having continued_G4160 then_G1161 a time,_G5550 they were sent away_G0630 in_G3326 peace_G1515 from_G0575 the_G3588 brothers_G0080 to_G4314 those_G3588 having sent_G0649 them._G0846

34: It seemed good_G1380 however_G1161 -_G3588 to Silas_G4609 to remain_G1961 there._G0847

35: Paul_G3972 however_G1161 and_G2532 Barnabas_G0921 stayed_G1304 in_G1722 Antioch,_G0490 teaching_G1321 and_G2532 proclaiming the good news,_G2097 with_G3326 also_G2532 others_G2087 many,_G4183 the_G3588 word_G3056 of the_G3588 Lord._G2962

36: After_G3326 now_G1161 some_G5100 days,_G2250 said_G2036 to_G4314 Barnabas,_G0921 Paul,_G3972 Having turned back_G1994 indeed_G1211 let us look after_G1980 the_G3588 brothers_G0080 in_G2596 city_G4172 every_G3956 in_G1722 which_G3739 we have announced_G2605 the_G3588 word_G3056 of the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 how_G4459 they are._G2192

37: Barnabas_G0921 now_G1161 purposed_G1014 to take along_G4838 also_G2532 -_G3588 John_G2491 -_G3588 called_G2564 Mark;_G3138

38: Paul_G3972 however_G1161 thought fit,_G0515 the [one]_G3588 having withdrawn_G0868 from_G0575 them_G0846 from_G0575 Pamphylia_G3828 and_G2532 not_G3361 having gone with_G4905 them_G0846 to_G1519 the_G3588 work,_G2041 not_G3361 to take along_G4838 him._G3778

39: Arose_G1096 therefore_G1161 a sharp disagreement,_G3948 so that_G5620 separated_G0673 they_G0846 from_G0575 one another;_G0240 -_G3588 and_G5037 Barnabas,_G0921 having taken_G3880 -_G3588 Mark,_G3138 sailed_G1602 to_G1519 Cyprus._G2954

40: Paul_G3972 however,_G1161 having chosen_G1951 Silas,_G4609 went forth,_G1831 having been committed_G3860 to the_G3588 grace_G5485 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 by_G5259 the_G3588 brothers._G0080

41: He was passing through_G1330 then_G1161 -_G3588 Syria_G4947 and_G2532 -_G3588 Cilicia,_G2791 strengthening_G1991 the_G3588 churches._G1577
