TSK · Acts 15:2

The LORD said to Samuel,“Do everything the people request of you. For it is not you that they have rejected, but it is me that they have rejected as their king.

The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all the things God had done with them.

Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to send men chosen from among them, Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers, to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas.

Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas who will tell you these things themselves in person.

The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

Occasion of the Letter I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are following a different gospel–

But we did not surrender to them even for a moment, in order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

Condemnation of the False Teachers Dear friends, although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
