You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

You know that at one time you were unbelievers. You were somehow drawn away to worship statues of gods that couldn’t even speak.

You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.

You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols.

You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non- Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.

For people everywhere report how you welcomed us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh– who are called“ uncircumcision” by the so- called“ circumcision” that is performed on the body by human hands–that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

What good is an idol? Why would a craftsman make it? What good is a metal image that gives misleading oracles? Why would its creator place his trust in it and make such mute, worthless things?The one who says to wood,‘ Wake up!’ is as good as dead– he who says to speechless stone,‘ Awake!’ Can it give reliable guidance?

Leave them! They are blind guides. If someone who is blind leads another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”

They put it on their shoulder and carry it; they put it in its place and it just stands there; it does not move from its place. Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply; it does not deliver him from his distress.

So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.They are darkened in their understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,

You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed– not by perishable things like silver or gold,
