Denn den Gläubigen aus den Heiden haben wir geschrieben und beschlossen, daß sie der keines halten sollen, sondern nur sich bewahren vor Götzenopfer, vor Blut, vor Ersticktem und vor Hurerei.
Empero cuanto a los que de los Gentiles han creído, nosotros hemos escrito haberse acordado que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo que fue sacrificado a los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación.
En cuanto a los gentiles que han creído, ya les hemos comunicado nuestra decisión: que se abstengan de lo sacrificado a los ídolos, de la sangre, de la carne de animales estrangulados y de la inmoralidad sexual».
A l'égard des païens qui ont cru, nous avons décidé et nous leur avons écrit qu'ils eussent à s'abstenir des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles, du sang, des animaux étouffés, et de l'impudicité.
Ma, quant’è a’ Gentili che hanno creduto, noi ne abbiamo scritto, avendo statuito che non osservino alcuna cosa tale; ma solo che si guardino dalle cose sacrificate agl’idoli, e dal sangue, e dalle cose soffocate, e dalla fornicazione.
Todavia, quanto aos que crêem dos gentios, já nós havemos escrito, e achado por bem, que nada disto observem; mas que só se guardem do que se sacrifica aos ídolos, e do sangue, e do sufocado e da prostituição.
至於信主的外邦人, 我們已經根據我們的決議寫信,叫他們要禁戒偶像所玷污的東西、血和勒死的牲畜,禁戒淫亂。」
