4 And G1161 as G5613 they went through G1279 the cities, G4172 they delivered G3860 them G846 the decrees G1378 for to keep, G5442 that were ordained G2919 of G5259 the apostles G652 and G2532 elders G4245 which G3588 were at G1722 Jerusalem. G2419
For G1063 it seemed good G1380 to the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and G2532 to us, G2254 to lay upon G2007 you G5213 no G3367 greater G4119 burden G922 than G4133 these G5130 necessary things; G1876 That ye abstain G567 from meats offered to idols, G1494 and G2532 from blood, G129 and G2532 from things strangled, G4156 and G2532 from fornication: G4202 from G1537 which G3739 if ye keep G1301 yourselves, G1438 ye shall do G4238 well.
