Exegesis
The articular infinitive tou apekhesthai {τοῦ ἀπέχεσθαι | toû apékhesthai} substantivally conveys the directive “to abstain from,” and it governs a coordinated series of four genitive nouns—each with its own article and joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}.
In context — Acts 15:20
Instead, we should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood .
