hearts
by faith .

ruins
thereof
, and I
will set it up:

things
strangled ,
and from
blood .

Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief
men among the brethren :

good
to
the apostles and the
elders ,
with the whole assembly
, chosen men out
of themselves
to send
to
Antioch with Paul and Barnabas --
Judas surnamed Barsabas ,
and Silas, leading
men among the brethren --

they
wrote
letters
by
them
after
this
manner;
The apostles and elders and brethren
send
greeting
unto
the brethren which
are
of
the
Gentiles
in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia .
having
written
through
their
hand
thus:
`
The apostles ,
and the
elders ,
and the brethren ,
to
those
in Antioch ,
and Syria ,
and Cilicia ,
brethren,
who
`are'
of
the
nations,
greeting;
Forasmuch
as
we have heard ,
that certain which
went
out
from us have
troubled
you with words, subverting your souls, saying ,
Ye
must
be circumcised ,
and keep the law :
to whom we gave
no such
commandment:
seeing
we have heard that certain having
gone
forth
from us did
trouble
you with words, subverting your souls, saying to
be circumcised and to
keep the law ,
to whom we did
give
no charge,
It seemed good unto
us, being
assembled
with one accord, to
send
chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul ,

have given
up
their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ --
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who
shall
also
tell
you
the same things by
mouth
.
we have sent ,
therefore ,
Judas and Silas, and
they
by
word
are
telling
the same things.
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost
, and to us, to lay upon you no
greater
burden
than
these necessary things ;
`
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit
, and to us, no
more
burden
to lay upon you ,
except
these necessary things :
That
ye
abstain from meats
offered to idols, and from
blood, and from
things
strangled, and from
fornication:
from which if
ye
keep
yourselves, ye shall do well .
Fare
ye
well.
to
abstain from things
offered to idols, and blood, and a
strangled thing
, and whoredom;
from which keeping
yourselves, ye shall do well ;
be
strong!'
So
when
they were
dismissed
, they
came
to Antioch :
and when
they
had
gathered
the multitude together, they
delivered
the epistle :
They then
, indeed,
having
been
let
go,
went
to Antioch ,
and having
brought
the multitude together, did
deliver
the epistle ,
Which
when
they had
read, they
rejoiced
for the consolation .
and
they having
read, did
rejoice
for the consolation ;
And
Judas and Silas, being prophets
also
themselves, exhorted
the brethren with
many
words
, and confirmed
them.
Judas also
and Silas, being themselves also
prophets
, through
much
discourse
did
exhort
the brethren, and confirm,
And after
they
had
tarried
there
a
space
, they were let go in
peace from the brethren unto the apostles .
and having
passed
some
time
, they were let go with
peace from the brethren unto the apostles ;
Notwithstanding
it pleased
Silas to abide
there still.

it seemed
good
to
Silas to remain
there still.
Paul also
and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching
the word of the Lord ,
with
many
others
also.
And
Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming
good
news

with
many
others
also

And some
days
after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let
us
go
again and
visit
our brethren in every city where
we have preached the word of the LORD ,
and
see
how they do
.
and after certain
days,
Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having
turned
back
again ,
we
may
look
after
our brethren ,
in every city in
which
we have preached the word of the Lord --
how they are
. '
And Barnabas determined
to take with them John ,
whose
surname
was
Mark .
And Barnabas counseled
to take with `
them '
John called
Mark ,
But
Paul thought
not good to take him with them ,
who departed
from them from Pamphylia, and went
not with them to the work .
and
Paul was
not thinking
it
good to take him with them who withdrew
from them from Pamphylia, and did
not go
with them to the work ;
And
the
contention
was
so
sharp between
them
, that they departed
asunder
one
from the
other:
and so
Barnabas took
Mark, and
sailed
unto
Cyprus ;
there
came,
therefore,
a
sharp contention
, so
that they were
parted
from one
another,
and Barnabas having
taken
Mark, did
sail
to
Cyprus ,
And Paul chose
Silas, and
departed
, being
recommended
by
the
brethren
unto
the grace of God .
and Paul having
chosen
Silas, went
forth
, having
been
given
up
to
the grace of God by
the
brethren;
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches
.
and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies
