Acts 15:13-21

[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.
