Acts 15:18

Read in context

Acts 15:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 ‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

17 so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things

18 that have been known for ages.’

19 It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

20 Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
