“And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.”
As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey — Paul's distribution (paradidōmi) of the council's letter demonstrates his alignment with the Jerusalem decision despite his debate with the Judaizers. The formulation for the people to obey (phylassō, to guard, keep) emphasizes the minimal yoke's binding character.
