Acts 15:5

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} there rose up{G1817}{(G5627)} certain{G5100} of{G575} the sect{G139} of the Pharisees{G5330} which believed{G4100}{(G5761)}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, That{G3754} it was needful{G1163}{(G5748)} to circumcise{G4059}{(G5721)} them{G846}, and{G5037} to command{G3853}{(G5721)} them to keep{G5083}{(G5721)} the law{G3551} of Moses{G3475}.
Strong's King James
(5) But some believers from the Pharisees party stood up, saying this, "It's necessary to circumcise them and to command them to observe The Torah of Moshe."
The F.O.G*
[5] But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up, their faces stern with conviction: "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey Moses's law." Their words revealed the deep struggle between grace and tradition, between old ways and new wine.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying—‘It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.’
Young's Literal Translation
