<P> 22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas . They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter: </P> <P> The apostles and elders, your brothers, </P> <P> To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: </P> <P> 24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said . 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul--26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ . 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing . 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to 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 . </P>
