¹ G2532 And G5100 certain men G2718 which came down [G5631]   G575 from G2449 Judaea G1321 taught [G5707]   G80 the brethren G3754 , and said, G3362 Except G4059 ye be circumcised [G5747]   G1485 after the manner G3475 of Moses G3756 , ye cannot G1410   [G5736]   G4982 be saved [G5683]  .

² G3767 When therefore G3972 Paul G2532 and G921 Barnabas G1096 had [G5637]   G3756 no G3641 small G4714 dissension G2532 and G4803 disputation G4314 with G846 them G5021 , they determined [G5656]   G3972 that Paul G2532 and G921 Barnabas G2532 , and G5100 certain G243 other G1537 of G846 them G305 , should go up [G5721]   G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4314 unto G652 the apostles G2532 and G4245 elders G4012 about G5127 this G2213 question.

³ G3303 And G3767   G4311 being brought on their way [G5685]   G5259 by G1577 the church G1330 , they passed through [G5711]   G5403 Phenice G2532 and G4540 Samaria G1555 , declaring [G5740]   G1995 the conversion G1484 of the Gentiles G2532 : and G4160 they caused [G5707]   G3173 great G5479 joy G3956 unto all G80 the brethren.

⁴ G1161 And G3854 when they were come [G5637]   G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G588 , they were received [G5681]   G5259 of G1577 the church G2532 , and G652 of the apostles G2532 and G4245 elders G5037 , and G312 they declared [G5656]   G3745 all things G2316 that God G4160 had done [G5656]   G3326 with G846 them.

⁵ G1161 But G1817 there rose up [G5627]   G5100 certain G575 of G139 the sect G5330 of the Pharisees G4100 which believed [G5761]   G3004 , saying [G5723]   G3754 , That G1163 it was needful [G5748]   G4059 to circumcise [G5721]   G846 them G5037 , and G3853 to command [G5721]   G5083 them to keep [G5721]   G3551 the law G3475 of Moses.

⁶ G1161 And G652 the apostles G2532 and G4245 elders G4863 came together [G5681]   G1492 for to consider [G5629]   G4012 of G5127 this G3056 matter.

⁷ G1161 And G1096 when there had been [G5637]   G4183 much G4803 disputing G4074 , Peter G450 rose up [G5631]   G2036 , and said [G5627]   G4314 unto G846 them G435 , Men G80 and brethren G5210 , ye G1987 know [G5736]   G3754 how that G744 a good G2250 while G575 ago G2316 God G1586 made choice [G5668]   G1722 among G2254 us G1484 , that the Gentiles G1223 by G3450 my G4750 mouth G191 should hear [G5658]   G3056 the word G2098 of the gospel G2532 , and G4100 believe [G5658]  .

⁸ G2532 And G2316 God G2589 , which knoweth the hearts G846 , bare them G3140 witness [G5656]   G1325 , giving [G5631]   G846 them G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost G2532 , even G2531 as G2254 he did unto us;

⁹ G2532 And G1252 put G3762 no G1252 difference [G5656]   G3342 between G5037   G2257 us G2532 and G846 them G2511 , purifying [G5660]   G846 their G2588 hearts G4102 by faith.

¹⁰ G3568 Now G3767 therefore G5101 why G3985 tempt ye [G5719]   G2316 God G2007 , to put [G5629]   G2218 a yoke G1909 upon G5137 the neck G3101 of the disciples G3739 , which G3777 neither G2257 our G3962 fathers G3777 nor G2249 we G2480 were able [G5656]   G941 to bear [G5658]  ?

¹¹ G235 But G4100 we believe [G5719]   G1223 that through G5485 the grace G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G4982 we shall be saved [G5683]   G2596 , even G3739   G5158 as G2548 they.

¹² G1161 Then G3956 all G4128 the multitude G4601 kept silence [G5656]   G2532 , and G191 gave audience [G5707]   G921 to Barnabas G2532 and G3972 Paul G1834 , declaring [G5740]   G3745 what G4592 miracles G2532 and G5059 wonders G2316 God G4160 had wrought [G5656]   G1722 among G1484 the Gentiles G1223 by G846 them.

¹³ G1161 And G3326 after G4601 they had held G846 their G4601 peace [G5658]   G2385 , James G611 answered [G5662]   G3004 , saying [G5723]   G435 , Men G80 and brethren G191 , hearken [G5657]   G3450 unto me:

¹⁴ G4826 Simeon G1834 hath declared [G5662]   G2531 how G2316 God G4412 at the first G1980 did visit [G5662]   G1484 the Gentiles G2983 , to take [G5629]   G1537 out of G2992 them a people G1909 for G846 his G3686 name.

¹⁵ G2532 And G5129 to this G4856 agree [G5719]   G3056 the words G4396 of the prophets G2531 ; as G1125 it is written [G5769]  ,

¹⁶ G3326 After G5023 this G390 I will return [G5692]   G2532 , and G456 will build again [G5692]   G4633 the tabernacle G1138 of David G3588 , which G4098 is fallen down [G5761]   G2532 ; and G456 I will build again [G5692]   G2679 the ruins [G5772]   G846 thereof G2532 , and G461 I will set G846 it G461 up [G5692]  :

¹⁷ G3704 That G302   G2645 the residue G444 of men G1567 might seek after [G5661]   G2962 the Lord G2532 , and G3956 all G1484 the Gentiles G1909 , upon G3739 whom G3450 my G3686 name G1941 is called [G5769]   G1909   G846   G3004 , saith [G5719]   G2962 the Lord G3588 , who G4160 doeth [G5723]   G3956 all G5023 these things.

¹⁸ G1110 Known G2316 unto God G2076 are [G5748]   G3956 all G846 his G2041 works G575 from G165 the beginning of the world.

¹⁹ G1352 Wherefore G1473 my G2919 sentence is [G5719]   G3926 , that we trouble [G5721]   G3361 not G3588 them, which G575 from among G1484 the Gentiles G1994 are turned [G5723]   G1909 to G2316 God:

²⁰ G235 But G1989 that we write [G5658]   G846 unto them G567 , that they abstain [G5733]   G575 from G234 pollutions G1497 of idols G2532 , and G4202 from fornication G2532 , and G4156 from things strangled G2532 , and G129 from blood.

²¹ G1063 For G3475 Moses G1537 of G744 old G1074 time G2192 hath [G5719]   G2596 in every G4172 city G2784 them that preach [G5723]   G846 him G314 , being read [G5746]   G1722 in G4864 the synagogues G2596 every G3956   G4521 sabbath day.

²² G5119 Then G1380 pleased it [G5656]   G652 the apostles G2532 and G4245 elders G4862 , with G3650 the whole G1577 church G3992 , to send [G5658]   G1586 chosen [G5671]   G435 men G1537 of G846 their own company G1519 to G490 Antioch G4862 with G3972 Paul G2532 and G921 Barnabas G2455 ; namely, Judas G1941 surnamed [G5746]   G923 Barsabas G2532 , and G4609 Silas G2233 , chief [G5740]   G435 men G1722 among G80 the brethren:

²³ G1125 And they wrote [G5660]   G1223 letters by G5495 them G846   G3592 after this manner G652 ; The apostles G2532 and G4245 elders G2532 and G80 brethren G5463 send greeting [G5721]   G80 unto the brethren G3588 which G1537 are of G1484 the Gentiles G2596 in G490 Antioch G2532 and G4947 Syria G2532 and G2791 Cilicia:

²⁴ G1894 Forasmuch as G191 we have heard [G5656]   G3754 , that G5100 certain G1831 which went out [G5631]   G1537 from G2257 us G5015 have troubled [G5656]   G5209 you G3056 with words G384 , subverting [G5723]   G5216 your G5590 souls G3004 , saying [G5723]   G4059 , Ye must be circumcised [G5745]   G2532 , and G5083 keep [G5721]   G3551 the law G3739 : to whom G1291 we gave G3756 no G1291 such commandment [G5668]  :

²⁵ G1380 It seemed good [G5656]   G2254 unto us G1096 , being assembled [G5637]   G3661 with one accord G3992 , to send [G5658]   G1586 chosen [G5671]   G435 men G4314 unto G5209 you G4862 with G2257 our G27 beloved G921 Barnabas G2532 and G3972 Paul,

²⁶ G444 Men G3860 that have hazarded [G5761]   G846 their G5590 lives G5228 for G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

²⁷ G649 We have sent [G5758]   G3767 therefore G2455 Judas G2532 and G4609 Silas G846 , who G518 shall G2532 also G518 tell [G5723]   G846 you the same things G1223 by G3056 mouth.

²⁸ G1063 For G1380 it seemed good [G5656]   G40 to the Holy G4151 Ghost G2532 , and G2254 to us G2007 , to lay upon [G5733]   G5213 you G3367 no G4119 greater G922 burden G4133 than G5130 these G1876 necessary things;

²⁹ G567 That ye abstain [G5733]   G1494 from meats offered to idols G2532 , and G129 from blood G2532 , and G4156 from things strangled G2532 , and G4202 from fornication G1537 : from G3739 which G1301 if ye keep [G5723]   G1438 yourselves G4238 , ye shall do [G5692]   G2095 well G4517 . Fare ye well [G5770]  .

³⁰ G3303 So G3767   G630 when they were dismissed [G5685]   G2064 , they came [G5627]   G1519 to G490 Antioch G2532 : and G4863 when they had gathered G4128 the multitude G4863 together [G5631]   G1929 , they delivered [G5656]   G1992 the epistle:

³¹ G1161 Which when G314 they had read [G5631]   G5463 , they rejoiced [G5644]   G1909 for G3874 the consolation.

³² G2455 And Judas G2532 and G4609 Silas G5607 , being [G5752]   G4396 prophets G2532 also G846 themselves G3870 , exhorted [G5656]   G80 the brethren G1223 with G4183 many G3056 words G2532 , and G1991 confirmed [G5656]   them .

³³ G1161 And G4160 after they had tarried [G5660]   G5550 there a space G630 , they were let go [G5681]   G3326 in G1515 peace G575 from G80 the brethren G4314 unto G652 the apostles.

³⁴ G1161 Notwithstanding G1380 it pleased [G5656]   G4609 Silas G1961 to abide G847 there G1961 still [G5658]  .

³⁵ G3972 Paul G1161 also G2532 and G921 Barnabas G1304 continued [G5707]   G1722 in G490 Antioch G1321 , teaching [G5723]   G2532 and G2097 preaching [G5734]   G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord G3326 , with G4183 many G2087 others G2532 also.

³⁶ G1161 And G5100 some G2250 days G3326 after G3972 Paul G2036 said [G5627]   G4314 unto G921 Barnabas G1211 , G1994 Let us go again [G5660]   G1980 and visit [G5667]   G2257 our G80 brethren G2596 in G3956 every G4172 city G1722 where G3739   G2605 we have preached [G5656]   G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord G4459 , and see how G2192 they do [G5719]  .

³⁷ G1161 And G921 Barnabas G1011 determined [G5662]   G4838 to take with them [G5629]   G2491 John G2564 , whose surname was [G5746]   G3138 Mark.

³⁸ G1161 But G3972 Paul G515 thought G3361 not G515 good [G5707]   G4838 to take G5126 him G4838 with them [G5629]   G3588 , who G868 departed [G5631]   G575 from G846 them G575 from G3828 Pamphylia G2532 , and G4905 went [G5631]   G3361 not G846 with them G1519 to G2041 the work.

³⁹ G3767 And G3948 the contention G1096 was [G5633]   G3948 so sharp G846 between them G5620 , that G673 they departed asunder [G5683]   G575 one from the other G240   G5037 : and so G921 Barnabas G3880 took [G5631]   G3138 Mark G1602 , and sailed [G5658]   G1519 unto G2954 Cyprus;

⁴⁰ G1161 And G3972 Paul G1951 chose [G5671]   G4609 Silas G1831 , and departed [G5627]   G3860 , being recommended [G5685]   G5259 by G80 the brethren G5485 unto the grace G2316 of God.

⁴¹ G1161 And G1330 he went through [G5711]   G4947 Syria G2532 and G2791 Cilicia G1991 , confirming [G5723]   G1577 the churches.
