14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16 `After these things I will return. I will again build the tent of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up:
17 That the rest of men may seek after the Lord; All the Gentiles who are called by my name, Says the Lord, who does all these things.
18 All his works are known to God from eternity.`
19 "Therefore my judgment is that we don`t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
