< Acts 15 >

1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲩⲧⲉϣ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ
3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.

5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲃⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.

7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲛ
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲃ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲙⲁⲕϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.

12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲣⲉⲩⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.

15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲩⲙⲫⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:

17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.

18 To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.

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.

21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.

22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.

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.

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:

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:

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.

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

32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.

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