So do not corrupt yourselves by making an idol in any form— whether of a man or a woman,

惟恐你们败坏自己，雕刻偶像，仿佛什么男像女像，

惟恐你们的行为败坏，为自己雕刻任何形状的偶像，无论是男像或女像，

惟恐你们的行为败坏，为自己雕刻任何形状的偶像，无论是男像或女像，

所以不可堕落，去为自己制造任何形状的神像——男人、女人、

恐怕你们败坏自己，为自己制造偶像，制造任何神像的形象，无论是男像或是女像，

惟恐你們敗壞自己，雕刻偶像，彷彿甚麼男像女像，

惟恐你們的行為敗壞，為自己雕刻任何形狀的偶像，無論是男像或女像，

惟恐你們的行為敗壞，為自己雕刻任何形狀的偶像，無論是男像或女像，

所以不可墮落，去為自己製造任何形狀的神像——男人、女人、

恐怕你們敗壞自己，為自己製造偶像，製造任何神像的形象，無論是男像或是女像，

那是恐怕你們敗壞自己，為自己造雕像、造任何雕塑物的形像、男的或女的模形、

恐爾自敗、雕偶以仿諸像、或男或女、

恐壞爾心術、雕刻偶像、或似男女、作像像之、

恐爾自敗、為己作偶像、仿諸形像、或男像、或女像、

so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,

Make sure you don’t commit a horrible sin. Don’t make for yourselves a statue of a god. Don’t make a god that looks like a man or woman or anything else.

beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

so you don’t act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves in the shape of any figure: a male or female form,

so that you do not act corruptly and make a carved image for yourselves in the form of any figure, a representation of male or female,

lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female,

lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

not to act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves in the shape of any figure: a male or female form,

Lest ye corrupt[ yourselves], and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

I say this so you will not corrupt yourselves by making an image in the form of any kind of figure. This includes the likeness of a human male or female,

lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.

“ You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.

“ You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.

So be careful not to break the covenant the Lord your God has made with you. Do not make idols of any shape or form, for the Lord your God has forbidden this.

The Lord told Moses,“ Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.

And what great nation has decrees and regulations as righteous and fair as this body of instructions that I am giving you today?“ But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.

To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him?

Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

Several men were traveling with him. They were Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.

“ In the future, when you have children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time, do not corrupt yourselves by making idols of any kind. This is evil in the sight of the Lord your God and will arouse his anger.

The people made a calf at Mount Sinai; they bowed before an image made of gold.They traded their glorious God for a statue of a grass eating bull.

All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.
