Exegesis
The negative particle me {μὴ | mḕ} ‘not’ plus the infinitive parenochlein {παρενοχλεῖν | parenochleîn} ‘to trouble’ expresses a general prohibition, which English conveys with a finite clause.
In context — Acts 15:19
For this reason, I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God .
