Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. |
Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified. |
Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we should appear (be as) unapproved. |
Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. |
But I pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not in order that we [our teaching] may appear to be approved, but that you may continue doing right, [though] we may seem to have failed and be unapproved. |
Now, we are praying to God that you do not even one bit of evil, not, as for us, in order that we may appear as approved, but in order that, as for you, you may be doing that which is honorable, but as for us, in order that we may be as those who are disapproved, |
I pray God that you may make no mistake, not because I have any need of your approval, but because I earnestly want you to find the right answer, even if that should make me no real Christian. |
But I am praying God that you may never do anything wrong, not to show that I am standing the test, but that you should continue doing right, though I should fail to stand the test. |
Now 1161 I pray 2172 to 4314 God 2316 that ye 5209 - 3361 do 4160 no 3367 evil; 2556 not 3756 that 2443 we 2249 should appear 5316 approved, 1384 but 235 that 2443 ye 5210 should do 4160 that which is honest, 2570 though 1161 we 2249 be 5600 as 5613 reprobates. 96 |
