故我擬自異邦歸上帝者、勿擾之、

即我所見、異邦人歸上帝者、不可擾之、

故我意異邦人歸主者、不可擾之、

吾意異邦人之歸順天主者、吾人不當再強其所難；

“ It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

“ Now here is my decision. We should not make it hard for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God,

Therefore, in my judgment, we should not cause difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God,

Therefore, it is my judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God,

Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;

Therefore, in my judgment, we should not cause difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God,

Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

“ Therefore I conclude that we should not cause extra difficulty for those among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

“ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no greater burden on you than these few requirements:

“ We understand that some men from here have troubled you and upset you with their teaching, but we did not send them!

Bring your confessions, and return to the Lord. Say to him,“ Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so that we may offer you our praises.

but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God— and prove they have changed by the good things they do.

Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God.

So why are you now challenging God by burdening the Gentile believers with a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors were able to bear?

Even that question came up only because of some so called believers there— false ones, really— who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.

Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised— as some say I do— why am I still being persecuted? If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended.I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.
