Exegesis
The infinitive episteilai {ἐπιστεῖλαί | episteîlai} functions as the main verbal action “to write,” taking the dative autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} as its indirect object.
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 .
