19 Therefore, it is (A)my judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them that they abstain from [a](B)things contaminated by idols, from (C)acts of sexual immorality, from (D)what has been [b]strangled, and from blood. 21 For (E)from ancient generations Moses has those who preach him in every city, since [c]he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
