1 # And <2532> certain men <5100> which came down <2718> (5631) from <575> Judaea <2449> taught <1321> (5707) the brethren <80>, and said, <3754> Except <3362> ye be circumcised <4059> (5747) after the manner <1485> of Moses <3475>, ye cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) be saved <4982> (5683).
2 When therefore <3767> Paul <3972> and <2532> Barnabas <921> had <1096> (5637) no <3756> small <3641> dissension <4714> and <2532> disputation <4803> with <4314> them <846>, they determined <5021> (5656) that Paul <3972> and <2532> Barnabas <921>, and <2532> certain <5100> other <243> of <1537> them <846>, should go up <305> (5721) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419> unto <4314> the apostles <652> and <2532> elders <4245> about <4012> this <5127> question <2213>.
3 And <3303> <3767> being brought on their way <4311> (5685) by <5259> the church <1577>, they passed through <1330> (5711) Phenice <5403> and <2532> Samaria <4540>, declaring <1555> (5740) the conversion <1995> of the Gentiles <1484>: and <2532> they caused <4160> (5707) great <3173> joy <5479> unto all <3956> the brethren <80>.
4 And <1161> when they were come <3854> (5637) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, they were received <588> (5681) of <5259> the church <1577>, and <2532> of the apostles <652> and <2532> elders <4245>, and <5037> they declared <312> (5656) all things <3745> that God <2316> had done <4160> (5656) with <3326> them <846>.
5 But <1161> there rose up <1817> (5627) certain <5100> of <575> the sect <139> of the Pharisees <5330> which believed <4100> (5761), saying <3004> (5723), That <3754> it was needful <1163> (5748) to circumcise <4059> (5721) them <846>, and <5037> to command <3853> (5721) them to keep <5083> (5721) the law <3551> of Moses <3475>.
6 # And <1161> the apostles <652> and <2532> elders <4245> came together <4863> (5681) for to consider <1492> (5629) of <4012> this <5127> matter <3056>.
7 And <1161> when there had been <1096> (5637) much <4183> disputing <4803>, Peter <4074> rose up <450> (5631), and said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Men <435> and brethren <80>, ye <5210> know <1987> (5736) how that <3754> a good <744> while <2250> ago <575> God <2316> made choice <1586> (5668) among <1722> us <2254>, that the Gentiles <1484> by <1223> my <3450> mouth <4750> should hear <191> (5658) the word <3056> of the gospel <2098>, and <2532> believe <4100> (5658).
8 And <2532> God <2316>, which knoweth the hearts <2589>, bare them <846> witness <3140> (5656), giving <1325> (5631) them <846> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, even <2532> as <2531> he did unto us <2254> ;
9 And <2532> put <1252> <0> no <3762> difference <1252> (5656) between <3342> <5037> us <2257> and <2532> them <846>, purifying <2511> (5660) their <846> hearts <2588> by faith <4102> .
10 Now <3568> therefore <3767> why <5101> tempt ye <3985> (5719) God <2316>, to put <2007> (5629) a yoke <2218> upon <1909> the neck <5137> of the disciples <3101>, which <3739> neither <3777> our <2257> fathers <3962> nor <3777> we <2249> were able <2480> (5656) to bear <941> (5658)?
11 But <235> we believe <4100> (5719) that through <1223> the grace <5485> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> we shall be saved <4982> (5683), even <2596> <3739> as <5158> they <2548>.
12 Then <1161> all <3956> the multitude <4128> kept silence <4601> (5656), and <2532> gave audience <191> (5707) to Barnabas <921> and <2532> Paul <3972>, declaring <1834> (5740) what <3745> miracles <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059> God <2316> had wrought <4160> (5656) among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> by <1223> them <846>.
13 And <1161> after <3326> they had held <4601> <0> their <846> peace <4601> (5658), James <2385> answered <611> (5662), saying <3004> (5723), Men <435> and brethren <80>, hearken <191> (5657) unto me <3450>:
14 Simeon <4826> hath declared <1834> (5662) how <2531> God <2316> at the first <4412> did visit <1980> (5662) the Gentiles <1484>, to take <2983> (5629) out of <1537> them a people <2992> for <1909> his <846> name <3686>.
15 And <2532> to this <5129> agree <4856> (5719) the words <3056> of the prophets <4396>; as <2531> it is written <1125> (5769),
16 After <3326> this <5023> I will return <390> (5692), and <2532> will build again <456> (5692) the tabernacle <4633> of David <1138>, which <3588> is fallen down <4098> (5761); and <2532> I will build again <456> (5692) the ruins <2679> (5772) thereof <846>, and <2532> I will set <461> <0> it <846> up <461> (5692):
17 That <3704> <302> the residue <2645> of men <444> might seek after <1567> (5661) the Lord <2962>, and <2532> all <3956> the Gentiles <1484>, upon <1909> whom <3739> my <3450> name <3686> is called <1941> (5769) <1909> <846>, saith <3004> (5719) the Lord <2962>, who <3588> doeth <4160> (5723) all <3956> these things <5023>.
18 Known <1110> unto God <2316> are <2076> (5748) all <3956> his <846> works <2041> from <575> the beginning of the world <165>.
19 Wherefore <1352> my <1473> sentence is <2919> (5719), that we trouble <3926> (5721) not <3361> them, which <3588> from among <575> the Gentiles <1484> are turned <1994> (5723) to <1909> God <2316>:
20 But <235> that we write <1989> (5658) unto them <846>, that they abstain <567> (5733) from <575> pollutions <234> of idols <1497>, and <2532> from fornication <4202>, and <2532> from things strangled <4156>, and <2532> from blood <129>.
21 For <1063> Moses <3475> of <1537> old <744> time <1074> hath <2192> (5719) in every <2596> city <4172> them that preach <2784> (5723) him <846>, being read <314> (5746) in <1722> the synagogues <4864> every <2596> <3956> sabbath day <4521>.
22 # Then <5119> pleased it <1380> (5656) the apostles <652> and <2532> elders <4245>, with <4862> the whole <3650> church <1577>, to send <3992> (5658) chosen <1586> (5671) men <435> of <1537> their own company <846> to <1519> Antioch <490> with <4862> Paul <3972> and <2532> Barnabas <921>; namely , Judas <2455> surnamed <1941> (5746) Barsabas <923>, and <2532> Silas <4609>, chief <2233> (5740) men <435> among <1722> the brethren <80>:
23 And they wrote <1125> (5660) letters by <1223> them <5495> <846> after this manner <3592> ; The apostles <652> and <2532> elders <4245> and <2532> brethren <80> send greeting <5463> (5721) unto the brethren <80> which <3588> are of <1537> the Gentiles <1484> in <2596> Antioch <490> and <2532> Syria <4947> and <2532> Cilicia <2791>:
24 Forasmuch as <1894> we have heard <191> (5656), that <3754> certain <5100> which went out <1831> (5631) from <1537> us <2257> have troubled <5015> (5656) you <5209> with words <3056>, subverting <384> (5723) your <5216> souls <5590>, saying <3004> (5723), Ye must be circumcised <4059> (5745), and <2532> keep <5083> (5721) the law <3551>: to whom <3739> we gave <1291> <0> no <3756> such commandment <1291> (5668):
25 It seemed good <1380> (5656) unto us <2254>, being assembled <1096> (5637) with one accord <3661> , to send <3992> (5658) chosen <1586> (5671) men <435> unto <4314> you <5209> with <4862> our <2257> beloved <27> Barnabas <921> and <2532> Paul <3972>,
26 Men <444> that have hazarded <3860> (5761) their <846> lives <5590> for <5228> the name <3686> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
 - PSUCHE - SOUL LIFE
27 We have sent <649> (5758) therefore <3767> Judas <2455> and <2532> Silas <4609>, who <846> shall <518> <0> also <2532> tell <518> (5723) you the same things <846> by <1223> mouth <3056> .
28 For <1063> it seemed good <1380> (5656) to the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and <2532> to us <2254> , to lay upon <2007> (5733) you <5213> no <3367> greater <4119> burden <922> than <4133> these <5130> necessary things <1876>;
29 That ye abstain <567> (5733) from meats offered to idols <1494>, and <2532> from blood <129>, and <2532> from things strangled <4156>, and <2532> from fornication <4202>: from <1537> which <3739> if ye keep <1301> (5723) yourselves <1438>, ye shall do <4238> (5692) well <2095>. Fare ye well <4517> (5770).
30 So <3303> <3767> when they were dismissed <630> (5685), they came <2064> (5627) to <1519> Antioch <490>: and <2532> when they had gathered <4863> <0> the multitude <4128> together <4863> (5631), they delivered <1929> (5656) the epistle <1992>:
31 Which when <1161> they had read <314> (5631), they rejoiced <5463> (5644) for <1909> the consolation <3874>.
32 And Judas <2455> and <2532> Silas <4609>, being <5607> (5752) prophets <4396> also <2532> themselves <846>, exhorted <3870> (5656) the brethren <80> with <1223> many <4183> words <3056>, and <2532> confirmed <1991> (5656) them.
33 And <1161> after they had tarried <4160> (5660) there a space <5550>, they were let go <630> (5681) in <3326> peace <1515> from <575> the brethren <80> unto <4314> the apostles <652>.
 - CHRONOS - TIME
34 Notwithstanding <1161> it pleased <1380> (5656) Silas <4609> to abide <1961> <0> there <847> still <1961> (5658).
35 Paul <3972> also <1161> and <2532> Barnabas <921> continued <1304> (5707) in <1722> Antioch <490>, teaching <1321> (5723) and <2532> preaching <2097> (5734) the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> , with <3326> many <4183> others <2087> also <2532>.
 - TEACHING OFFICE
36 # And <1161> some <5100> days <2250> after <3326> Paul <3972> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> Barnabas <921>, <1211> Let us go again <1994> (5660) and visit <1980> (5667) our <2257> brethren <80> in <2596> every <3956> city <4172> where <1722> <3739> we have preached <2605> (5656) the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, and see how <4459> they do <2192> (5719).
37 And <1161> Barnabas <921> determined <1011> (5662) to take with them <4838> (5629) John <2491> , whose surname was <2564> (5746) Mark <3138>.
38 But <1161> Paul <3972> thought <515> <0> not <3361> good <515> (5707) to take <4838> <0> him <5126> with them <4838> (5629), who <3588> departed <868> (5631) from <575> them <846> from <575> Pamphylia <3828>, and <2532> went <4905> (5631) not <3361> with them <846> to <1519> the work <2041>.
39 And <3767> the contention <3948> <0> was <1096> (5633) so sharp <3948> between them <846> , that <5620> they departed asunder <673> (5683) one from the other <575> <240>: and so <5037> Barnabas <921> took <3880> (5631) Mark <3138>, and sailed <1602> (5658) unto <1519> Cyprus <2954>;
40 And <1161> Paul <3972> chose <1951> (5671) Silas <4609>, and departed <1831> (5627), being recommended <3860> (5685) by <5259> the brethren <80> unto the grace <5485> of God <2316>.
41 And <1161> he went through <1330> (5711) Syria <4947> and <2532> Cilicia <2791>, confirming <1991> (5723) the churches <1577>.
