(The letter from the Jerusalem church to the Gentile believers in Antioch continues.)
## that certain men ##
"that some men"
## to whom we gave no such commandment ##
we did not send them out to preach these words.
## So it seemed good to all of us ##
We were all in agreement
## our beloved Barnabas and Paul ##
This is an expression of endearment. "whom we love very much" (UDB)
