Act 15:10-11, 19-21, 24, 28-29, Gal 2:3, 6:12 | ESV | STEP | Now , therefore , why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear ?

10 Now, therefore, why ^aare you putting God to the test ^bby placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples ^cthat neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we ^dbelieve that we will be ^esaved through ^fthe grace of the Lord Jesus, ^gjust as they will.”

Acts 15:19-21

19 Therefore ^hmy judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who ⁱturn to God, 20 but should write to them ^jto abstain from ^kthe things polluted by idols, and from ^lsexual immorality, and from ^mwhat has been strangled, and from ⁿblood. 21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, ^ofor he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”

Acts 15:24

24 Since we have heard that ^psome persons have gone out from us and ^qtroubled you ^{▼▼Some manuscripts some persons from us have troubled you} with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

Acts 15:28-29

28 For it has seemed good ^sto the Holy Spirit and ^tto us ^uto lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 ^vthat you abstain from ^wwhat has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”

Galatians 2:3

3 But even Titus, who was with me, ^xwas not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

Galatians 6:12

12 ^yIt is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^zwho would force you to be circumcised, and only ^aain order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
