ACTS 15:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.”
Instead, we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood — the four prohibitions represent a minimal yoke for gentile believers: (1) food sacrificed to idols (eidōlothyta), (2) sexual immorality (porneia), (3) meat of strangled animals (pnikta), and (4) blood (haima). These restrictions reflect concern for conscience, health, and basic morality, not full Torah observance.
