1Now resteth to confute the reasons of the adversaries. First they said, whoredom is in the acts of the Apostles numbered among those things, which of their own nature are not evil, as blood, things strangled, and things dedicated unto Idols. For there is no creature of God evil, which is received with thanks giving. Wherefore fornication is no sin, seeing it is reckoned with those things. But this is a weak reason, for these things are not reckoned of the Apostles, that in them should be like reason of fault, but because that all those things, if they should have been used, would at the time have disturbed the Church. The Jews by the custom of their law, abstained from blood, and that which was strangled: and the Ethnics made nothing of whoredom. Wherefore, that peace should be had among them all, they decreed that they all should abstain from these things, whereby it followeth not, that all these things are like sins, but rather this we may infer, that all these things were an occasion of disturbing the Church.
1Now resteth to confute the reasons of the aduersaries. First they said, whoredome is in the actes of the Apostles nūbred among those thinges, which of their own nature are not euil, as blood, thinges strangled, and thinges dedicated vnto Idoles. For there is no creature of God euil, which is receaued with thankes geuing. Wherfore fornication is no syn, seing it is reckoned with those things. But this is a weake reason, for these thinges are not reckoned of the Apostles, that in them shoulde be like reason of fault, but bicause that all those thinges, if they shoulde haue bene vsed, would at ye tyme haue disturbed the Churche. The Iewes by the custome of their law, abstained from blood, and that whyche was strangled: and the Ethnikes made nothing of whooredome. Wherefore, that peace should be had among them all, they decreed that they al shoulde abstayne from these thinges, wherby it followeth not, that al these thinges are like sins, but rather this we may inferre, that all these thinges were an occasion of disturbing the Churche.
