ACTS 15:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;”
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements — the conjunction of Holy Spirit and apostolic/elder consensus (edoxen to pneumati to hagio kai hemin) affirms that the council's decision reflects divine will, not human preference. The phrase not to burden you (mē epitithēmi humas baros) returns to James's language, emphasizing that gentile Christian freedom remains intact.
