“That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.”
Acts 15:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 15:29
The council requires abstention from 'meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.' These prohibitions aren't salvific requirements but practical wisdom for Jewish-Gentile fellowship. Three relate to food laws (idolatry, blood, strangling), one to sexual morality. The letter promises 'ye shall do well,' not 'ye shall be saved' - distinguishing justification from sanctification.
