Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Then the apostles and the presbyters, together with the whole church, decided to select some of their number and send them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. The men selected were Judas (called Bar-Sabbas) and Silas, prominent members of the brotherhood. ²³ They conveyed the following letter. "The apostles and the presbyters of the brotherhood to the brothers who belong to the Gentiles throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: greeting. ²⁴ Having learned that some of our number, quite unauthorized by us, have unsettled you with their teaching and upset your souls, ²⁵ we have decided unanimously to select some of our number and send them to you along with our beloved Paul and Barnabas ²⁶ who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁷ We therefore send Judas and Silas with the following message, which they will also give to you orally. ²⁸ The holy Spirit and we have decided not to impose any extra burden on you, apart from these essential requirements: ²⁹ abstain from food that has been offered to idols, from tasting blood, from the flesh of animals that have been strangled, and from sexual vice. Keep clear of all this and you will prosper. Goodbye."
