Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

19 At this same period of time, believers had spread as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, due to the persecution that began with Stephen, but the message had spread only to the Jews. 18 However, there were some men from Cyprus and Cyrene living in Antioch who shared the news of the Lord Jesus with the Greeks. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22 This news came to the ears of the gathering of believers in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When Barnabas came and saw the grace of God, he encouraged them all to set their hearts to stay close to the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and many people were added to their number. 25 Then Barnabas left to go find Saul in Tarsus, 26 and when he found him, Barnabas brought Saul to Antioch. For a whole year the two of them led the assembly of believers there and taught them much. Antioch was the first place that followers were called Christians. 27 During this period, prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them named Agabus stood up and foretold that there would be a great famine throughout the world, and this happened during the time of Claudius. 29 The disciples decided to send as much help as each was able to their brothers who lived in Judea. 30 When they had completed, they sent it to the church leaders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Acts 15:1-33
1 And there were some men who came from Judea and taught the brothers that unless you were circumcised according to, you cannot be saved. 2 When Paul and Barnabas argued with them and disputed their teaching, they decided to send Paul and Barnabas along with some of the others to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this issue. 3 They were sent on their way by the assembly of believers, and as they went through Phoenicia and Samaria, Paul and Barnabas reported on how the non-Jews had turned to God. This news brought great joy to all the believers. 4 And when they arrived in Jerusalem, after they were welcomed by the assembly of believers and the apostles and elders, they reported on all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who were members of the religious party of the Pharisees stood up and said that it was necessary to command them to be circumcised and follow the Law of Moses.
6 The apostles and elders met together over this issue. 7 After much searching for a solution, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know how quite some time ago, God chose to use my mouth non-Jews would hear the word of the good news and believe. 8 And God, who knows all hearts, gave his approval to the non-Jews, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he had to us. 9 He defined no difference between them and us, and so purified their hearts through faith . 10 Now, why are you testing God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 On the contrary, we are saved by the gift of the Lord Jesus just as the non-Jews are.
12 Then, all the crowd kept quiet and listened to Barnabas and Paul describe the miracles and amazing acts God had performed among the non-Jewish peoples through them. 13 And after Barnabas and Paul had finished, James spoke, “Brothers, listen to me! 14 Simon has declared to us how God from the first has clearly chosen to make the non-Jews a people to bear his name. 15 And the words of the prophets agree with this. It is written. 16 ‘“After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent, and I will rebuild it from its ruins and raise it up again, 17 so that the remainder of mankind, the non-Jewish peoples, may seek the Lord and be called by my name”, says Yahweh, who will accomplish these things.’ 18 All of which was known by God from the beginning.
19 “So, my judgment is that we do not make a problem for the non-Jewish people who turn to the Lord. 20 We will write to them that they should avoid defilement from idols, sex outside of marriage, and strangled animals or blood. 21 For Moses have been preached since olden times on the Sabbath Day in every town.”
22 This was pleasing to the apostles and elders together with the whole assembly of believers, so they chose two highly respected men, Judas Barsabbas and Silas, as their representatives to send with Paul and Barnabus to Antioch. 23 And they wrote to them , “From the apostles and elders and brothers to the brothers among the non-Jewish people in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. Greetings! 24 We have heard that some have come to you from here and upset you with their words. We gave them no such instructions!
​
25 “It seemed good to us, when we were together and in complete agreement, to choose some men and send them to you with our beloved Paul and Barnabas, 26 who have risked their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas who will tell you the same things face-to-face. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these things. 29 Abstain from meat offered to idols, from blood, from strangled animals, and from sex outside of marriage. If you do these things, you will have done well.”
​
30 When they were released to leave, they returned to Antioch and, when they had gathered together all of believers, they read the letter. 31 After it was read, they all rejoiced and were encouraged. 32 Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, spoke a long time with them, and strengthened and encouraged them. 33 After they had stayed for a while, they were let go in peace by the brothers so they could return to the apostles.

There was a disciple named Timothy, son of a Jewish woman, who was a believer, and a Greek father. 2 Timothy had a good reputation among the brother believers in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wanted to take Timothy with them, so he had Timothy circumcised, because all of the Jews in the area knew that his father was Greek. 4 As they went through the cities, they delivered the decrees which had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, so they could follow them. 5 As a result, the assemblies were strengthened in the faith and grew in number daily.

3 Let it be that sexual immorality, impurity, and self-indulgence may never be heard of among you, for this is not fitting for those seeking holiness. 4 Nor is it fitting to engage in obscene or foolish or suggestive talk, but instead focus on your thankfulness to God for what you have received, 5 for you know that no one sexually immoral, or impure, or self-indulgent will inherit anything from the kingdom of the Anointed One and of God, for such a person is an idolater.
