Acts 15:1-4 ▼

1 AND certain men who had come down from Judæ’a taught the brethren, Unless you be circumcised in accordance with the custom of the law you cannot be saved.

2 And there was great dissension and controversy between them and Paul and Bar’nabas, and it reached such a point that it was necessary for Paul and Bar’na-bas and others with them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this question.

3 They were given an escort and sent on their way by the church, and they traveled through all Phoe-ni’ci-a and the territory of the Sa-mar’i-tans, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

4 On their arrival at Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders; and they reported everything that God had done with them.
