Verse 27

We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.

It is of interest that the Greek New Testament omits the preposition before the middle two of these four prohibitions, thus:

Abstain from idol sacrifices and blood and things strangled and from fornication.[10]

Again, this points to a possible identification of the first three of these as elements of a single prohibition.
