Lexham English Bible
23 Therefore do this that we tell you: we have[a] four men who have taken a vow upon themselves.[b] 24 Take these men and[c] purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses[d] so that they can shave their[e] heads, and everyone will know that the things which they had been informed about you are nothing, but you yourself also agree with observing the law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter after[f] deciding they should avoid food sacrificed to idols and blood and what has been strangled and sexual immorality.”
