15:19  For which cause, judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted:

15:19  Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

15:19  Propter quod ego judico non inquietari eos qui ex gentibus convertuntur ad Deum,

15:20  But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood.

15:20  But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

15:23  Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.

15:23  And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

15:23  scribentes per manus eorum : Apostoli et seniores fratres, his qui sunt Antiochiæ, et Syriæ, et Ciliciæ, fratribus ex gentibus, salutem.

15:24  Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

15:24  Quoniam audivimus quia quidam ex nobis exeuntes, turbaverunt vos verbis, evertentes animas vestras, quibus non mandavimus,

15:25  It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:

15:25  It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

15:27  We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

15:27  Misimus ergo Judam et Silam, qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem.

15:28  For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:

15:28  For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

15:28  Visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra imponere vobis oneris quam hæc necessaria :

15:29  That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication: from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.

15:29  That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

15:30  They therefore, being dismissed, went down to Antioch and, gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.

15:30  So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

15:30  Illi ergo dimissi, descenderunt Antiochiam : et congregata multitudine tradiderunt epistolam.

15:31  Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

15:31  Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

15:32  And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

15:32  Judas autem et Silas, et ipsi cum essent prophetæ, verbo plurimo consolati sunt fratres, et confirmaverunt.

15:33  And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren unto them that had sent them.

15:33  And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

15:33  Facto autem ibi aliquanto tempore, dimissi sunt cum pace a fratribus ad eos qui miserant illos.

15:34  But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there: and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.

15:34  Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

15:34  Visum est autem Silæ ibi remanere : Judas autem solus abiit Jerusalem.

15:35  And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.

15:35  Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

15:35  Paulus autem et Barnabas demorabantur Antiochiæ, docentes et evangelizantes cum aliis pluribus verbum Domini.

15:36  And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.

15:36  And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.

15:36  Post aliquot autem dies, dixit ad Barnabam Paulus : Revertentes visitemus fratres per universas civitates in quibus prædicavimus verbum Domini, quomodo se habeant.

15:37  And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark.

15:37  And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

15:37  Barnabas autem volebat secum assumere et Joannem, qui cognominabatur Marcus.

15:38  But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.

15:38  But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

15:38  Paulus autem rogabat eum (ut qui discessisset ab eis de Pamphylia, et non isset cum eis in opus) non debere recipi.

15:39  And there arose a dissension so that they departed one from another. And Barnabas indeed, taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

15:39  And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

15:39  Facta est autem dissensio, ita ut discederent ab invicem, et Barnabas quidem, assumpto Marco, navigaret Cyprum.

15:40  But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.

15:40  And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

15:40  Paulus vero, electo Sila, profectus est, traditus gratiæ Dei a fratribus.

15:41  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.

15:41  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

15:41  Perambulabat autem Syriam et Ciliciam, confirmans ecclesias : præcipiens custodire præcepta Apostolorum et seniorum.
