Acts 15:28

The Letter to the Gentile Believers

27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements: 29You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
