It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:

Here is what seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us. We will not give you a load that is too heavy. So here are a few basic rules.

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

For it was the Holy Spirit’s decision— and ours— not to place further burdens on you beyond these requirements:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

For it was the Holy Spirit’s decision— and ours— to put no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

For it seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place any greater burden on you than these necessary rules:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

“ But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching(‘ deeper truths,’ as they call them— depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you

But in my opinion it would be better for her to stay single, and I think I am giving you counsel from God’s Spirit when I say this.

If you claim to be a prophet or think you are spiritual, you should recognize that what I am saying is a command from the Lord himself.

They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Now regarding your question about the young women who are not yet married. I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his mercy has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.

Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

God knows people’s hearts, and he confirmed that he accepts Gentiles by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.”

So we decided, having come to complete agreement, to send you official representatives, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
