Acts 21:23-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
23 Therefore do this which we tell you: There are four men with us having a vow upon themselves. 24 Having taken along these men, be purified together-with them. And spend[a] money for them, so that they will shave[b] the head. And everyone will know that there is nothing true of the things which they have been informed about you, but even you yourself are walking-in-line[c], keeping the Law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles having believed— we wrote-to them, having determined that they should guard-themselves as to food-sacrificed-to-an-idol and blood and the strangled thing and sexual immorality”.

New International Version
23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.(A) 24 Take these men, join in their purification rites(B) and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved.(C) Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law. 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.”(D)
