You must 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. Farewell.
Acts 15:29 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 15.
25 So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved 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 tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
29 You must 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. Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31 When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.

33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
