²³ and they wrote `thus' by them, The apostles and the elders, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.

²⁶ Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

⁴¹ And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

²² Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; `namely', Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

²¹ Then I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

¹⁴ but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace `be' unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

¹³ The children of thine elect sister salute thee.

¹⁰ If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into `your' house, and give him no greeting:

³ Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

³ Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

⁴ who for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:

⁵ and `salute' the church that is in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Asia unto Christ.

⁶ Salute Mary, who bestowed much labor on you.

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

⁸ Salute Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

⁹ Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

¹⁰ Salute Apelles the approved in Christ. Salute them that are of the `household' of Aristobulus.

¹¹ Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute them of the `household' of Narcissus, that are in the Lord.

¹² Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute Persis the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.

¹³ Salute Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them.

¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints that are with them.

¹⁶ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

²⁵ But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

³ And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

¹⁸ And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreae; for he had a vow.

⁴ And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.

¹ And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, `saying', Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

²⁷ And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.

¹⁸ And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.
