14 Simeon has reported how God first intervened to take from the Gentiles a people for His name.
15 And the words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
16 After these things I will returnand rebuild David’s fallen tent.I will rebuild its ruinsand set it up again,
17 so the rest of humanitymay seek the Lord —even all the Gentileswho are called by My name,declares the Lord who does these things,
18 known from long ago.
19 Therefore, in my judgment, we should not cause difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20 but instead we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from blood.
