ACTS 15:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.”
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell — the reiteration of the four prohibitions with the formula you will do well to avoid these things (kalōs poiēseite diatassomenoi) is phrased as practical wisdom rather than commandment, appealing to the conscience rather than imposing law.
