Acts 15:23

They sent this letter with them: ¹  From the apostles ²  and elders, your brothers, ³  to the Gentile brothers and sisters ⁴  in Antioch, ⁵  Syria, ⁶  and Cilicia, greetings!

Ac 11:18; Ac 14:27; Ac 15:4,22; Ac 15:41; Ac 18:18; Ac 21:3; Ac 21:25; Ac 23:26; Ro 16:3-16; Ga 1:21; Jas 1:1; 2Jo 1:3,13; 3Jo 1:14

¹ tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

² tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

³ tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

⁴ tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

⁵ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

⁶ tn Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
