Acts 15:21 in Context — Acts 15

19 C’est pourquoi je suis d’avis qu’on ne crée pas des difficultés à ceux des païens qui se convertissent à Dieu,

20 mais qu’on leur écrive de s’abstenir des souillures des idoles, de l’impudicité, des animaux étouffés et du sang.

21 Car, depuis bien des générations, Moïse a dans chaque ville des gens qui le prêchent, puisqu’on le lit tous les jours de sabbat dans les synagogues.

22 Alors il parut bon aux apôtres et aux anciens, et à toute l’Église, de choisir parmi eux et d’envoyer à Antioche, avec Paul et Barnabas, Jude appelé Barsabas et Silas, hommes considérés entre les frères.

23 Ils les chargèrent d’une lettre ainsi conçue: Les apôtres, les anciens, et les frères, aux frères d’entre les païens, qui sont à Antioche, en Syrie, et en Cilicie, salut!
