Therefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
All Commentaries on Acts 15:19 Go To Acts 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
that is, not to subvert: for, if God called them, and these observances subvert, we fight against God. And again, them which from the Gentiles, he says, do turn. And he says well, with authority, the my sentence is. But that we write unto them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication— (b) and yet they often insisted upon these points in discoursing to them — but, that he may seem also to honor the Law (he mentions), these also, speaking (however) not as from Moses but from the Apostles, and to make the commandments many, he has divided the one into two (saying), and from things strangled, and from blood.
