Lev.18.25

Even the land itself became polluted and I punished it for its iniquities--the land vomited up its inhabitants.

Lev.18.25

Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.

Lev.18.25

For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.

Lev.18.25

As a result, the entire land has become defiled. That is why I am punishing the people who live there, and the land will soon vomit them out.

Lev.18.26

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

Lev.18.26

You must keep my decrees and laws--natives and foreigners both. You must not do any of these abhorrent things.

Lev.18.26

But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things,

You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you

For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

Lev.18.27

The people who lived in this land before you arrived did all these things and polluted the land.

Lev.18.27

for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled.

Lev.18.27

(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled),

Lev.18.27

"All these detestable activities are practiced by the people of the land where I am taking you, and the land has become defiled.

Lev.18.28

That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

Lev.18.28

And if you pollute it, the land will vomit you up just as it vomited up the nations that preceded you.

Lev.18.28

And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

Lev.18.28

lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

Lev.18.28

Do not give the land a reason to vomit you out for defiling it, as it will vomit out the people who live there now.

Lev.18.29

For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Lev.18.29

"Those who do any of these abhorrent things will be cut off from their people.

Lev.18.29

"'Everyone who does any of these detestable things-such persons must be cut off from their people.

Lev.18.29

For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Lev.18.29

Whoever does any of these detestable things will be cut off from the community of Israel.

Lev.18.30

Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

Lev.18.30

Keep to what I tell you; don't engage in any of the abhorrent acts that were practiced before you came. Don't pollute yourselves with them. I am GOD, your God."

Lev.18.30

Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.'"

Lev.18.30

"Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the LORD your God."'

Lev.18.30

So be careful to obey my laws, and do not practice any of these detestable activities. Do not defile yourselves by doing any of them, for I, the LORD, am your God."

The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

Mark.14.21

In one sense, it turns out that the Son of Man is entering into a way of treachery well-marked by the Scriptures--no surprises here. In another sense, the man who turns him in, turns traitor to the Son of Man--better never to have been born than do this!"

Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. "Simon!" he said to Peter. "Are you asleep? Couldn't you stay awake and watch with me even one hour?

Mark.14.38

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

Mark.14.42

Get up. Let's get going. My betrayer has arrived."

Mark.14.42

Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"

Mark.14.42

Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."

Mark.14.42

Up, let's be going. See, my betrayer is here!"
