[13] And after their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken [14] Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people his name. [15] And agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, [16] After I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and it up: [17] That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all [18] Known unto God all works from the beginning of the world. [19] Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: [20] But that we write unto them, pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. [21] For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
