Jerusalem Council

Some men came down from Judea. They were teaching all the brothers, Unless you are first circumcised, You neither can nor will be saved. They were teaching all the brothers. So Paul and Barnabas went up. You cannot and will not be saved? This was the question that they posed. So Paul and Barnabas went up. They declared all that God had done. This was the question that they posed: Must all converts be circumcised? They declared all that God had done. In light of all that we have seen, Must all converts be circumcised? God shows no partiality. In light of all that we have seen, Surely we will levy no more? God shows no partiality; He has not made a distinction. Surely we will levy no more? We could not bear this yoke on us. He has not made a distinction; Will we then place it on their necks? We could not bear this yoke on us. We will be saved through grace alone. Will we then place it on their necks? They will be saved through grace likewise. We will be saved through grace alone. The prophets are in agreement; They will be saved through grace likewise. Therefore, we should not trouble them. The prophets are in agreement: Just as a remnant will seek Him, Therefore, we should not trouble them, Gentiles will call on Him as well. (From Acts 15) ---------- I guess this is an "imperfect pantoum", given that the last stanza just continues the pattern of the previous. I tried using the 1, 3 lines from stanza 1, but it just made no sense. I'm also unsure whether this is a terribly good use of this form, but you don't know until you try! I think perhaps introducing some rhyme would help make it feel more like a poem and less like a stuttering storyteller to me... Feedback/thoughts welcome! I need to go read a number of these that others have written and glean some ideas from them.
