<p>15:19 <em>Therefore my judgment is that</em>- The legal language of a judge arising to give a verdict. This is in line with Peter's earlier warning not to have God as the provider of witness and to judge Him wrongly; see on :8.</p><p><em>We do not trouble</em>- But the Judaizer brethren did 'trouble' the Gentile believers (:24). Later references in the NT to the converts being &quot;troubled&quot; may well refer to the activities of these Judaizers (Acts 17:8; 2 Cor. 4:8; 7:5; Gal. 1:7; 5:10; 2 Thess. 1:7; 2:2; 1 Pet. 3:14). </p><p><i>Those from among the Gentiles that turn to God</i>- Seeing there were few atheists in the first century, we wonder why he doesn't say 'turn to Christ'. He was speaking to Jews, and was using Judaism's language of a Gentile becoming a proselyte and 'turning to Israel's God'. But he is saying that becoming a proselyte now meant baptism into Christ, rather than attempting to keep Mosaic laws and visiting the temple in Jerusalem.</p>
