23 and this letter along with them: “The emissaries and the elders, your brothers, To the Gentile brothers of Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings!
24 Since we have heard that some from among us have troubled you with words disturbing to your souls, although we gave them no such authorization,
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
27 We therefore have sent to you Judah and Silas, who themselves will report to you the same things by word of mouth.
28 It seemed good to the Ruach ha-Kodesh and to us not to place on you any greater burden than these essentials:
29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. By keeping away from these things, you will do well. Shalom!”
