Acts 21:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 So we will tell you what to do: Four of our men have made a vow[a] to God. 24 Take these men with you and share in their cleansing ceremony.[b] Pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads.[c] This will prove to everyone that the things they have heard about you are not true. They will see that you obey the Law of Moses in your own life.
25 “In regard to the non-Jewish believers, we have already sent a letter to them saying what we think they should do:
‘Don’t eat food that has been given to idols.
Don’t eat meat from animals that have been strangled or any meat that still has the blood in it.
Don’t be involved in sexual sin.’”
