Acts 15:13-21 ▼

13 Afterwarde whan they helde their peace, Iames answered, and sayde: Ye men and brethren, herke vnto me,

14 Simo hath tolde, how God at the first vysited to receaue a people vnto his name from amonge the Heythen.

15 And vnto this agree ye wordes of the prophetes, as it is wrytte:

16 After this wyl I returne and wyl buylde agayne ye tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and that which is fallen in decaye therof, wyl I buylde agayne, and wyl set it vp,

17 that the residue of men maye seke after the LORDE: & also the Heythen vpo whom my name is named, sayeth the LORDE, which doth all these thinges.

18 Knowne vnto God are all his workes from the begynnynge of ye worlde.

19 Wherfore my sentence is, that they which from amonge the Heythen are turned vnto God, be not disquyeted,

20 but to wryte vnto them, that they absteyne them selues from fylthynesse of Idols, from whordome, and from strangled, and bloude.

21 For Moses hath of olde tyme in euery cite them that preach him: and he is red in the synagoges euery Sabbath daye.
