What was Paul instructed by Peter and James in Acts 15 about the Gentiles?
Paul was instructed by Peter and James in Acts 15 that he could go to the Gentiles without making legalists of them or Judaizing them, but he was to remember the poor in Jerusalem. This allowed Gentile outreach apart from legal requirements.
Les explains that Paul was instructed by Peter and James back in Acts chapter 15. The agreement was that Paul could go to the Gentiles without making legalists of them, without Judaizing them, but he was to be sure to remember the poor in Jerusalem. This instruction connects to Paul's writing to the Gentiles at Corinth in 1 Corinthians 16:1 about the collection for the saints, where he reminds them of this directive to remember the poor.
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
