Then Saul pleaded again,“ I know I have sinned. But please, at least honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel by coming back with me so that I may worship the Lord your God.”

扫罗说：“我有罪了，虽然如此，求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前抬举我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华你的神。”

扫罗说：“我有罪了。现在求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前尊重我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华—你的上帝。”

扫罗说：“我有罪了。现在求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前尊重我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华—你的神。”

扫罗说：“我犯了罪，但求你在以色列的长老和百姓面前尊重我，求你跟我回去，我好敬拜你的上帝耶和华。”

扫罗说：“我犯了罪了，但是求你在我人民的长老面前和以色列人面前给我面子，与我一同回去，我好敬拜耶和华你的神。”

扫罗说：“我犯罪了！现在请你在我子民的长老们面前和以色列人面前尊重我，与我一同回去，让我敬拜耶和华你的神。”

掃羅說：「我有罪了，雖然如此，求你在我百姓的長老和以色列人面前擡舉我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和華－你的神。」

掃羅說：「我有罪了。現在求你在我百姓的長老和以色列人面前尊重我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和華－你的上帝。」

掃羅說：「我有罪了。現在求你在我百姓的長老和以色列人面前尊重我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和華－你的神。」

掃羅說：“我犯了罪了，但是求你在我人民的長老面前和以色列人面前給我面子，與我一同回去，我好敬拜耶和華你的神。”

掃羅說：『我有罪了，求你當着我人民的長老面前、也當着以色列人面前、尊重尊重我，同我回去，我好敬拜永恆主你的上帝。』

掃羅說：「我犯罪了！現在請你在我子民的長老們面前和以色列人面前尊重我，與我一同回去，讓我敬拜耶和華你的神。」

掃羅曰、我干罪矣、雖然、求爾於我民之長老、及以色列眾前尊我、偕我旋歸、俾我崇拜爾上帝耶和華、

曰、我雖犯罪、求爾於以色列族及長老前、尊崇我、偕我旋歸、待我奉事爾之上帝耶和華。

Saul replied,“ I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.”

Saul replied,“ I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the elders of my people and in front of Israel. Come back with me so I can worship the Lord your God.”

Then he said,“ I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow before the Lord your God.”

Saul said,“ I have sinned. Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so I can bow in worship to the LORD your God.”

Then Saul said,“ I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before all Israel, and go back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.”

Then he said,“ I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.”

Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.

Saul said,“ I have sinned. Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so I can bow in worship to the Lord your God.”

Then he said, I have sinned:[ yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

Saul again replied,“ I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Go back with me so I may worship the LORD your God.”

Then he said,“ I have sinned; yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.”

No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.

For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.

And so the Lord says,“ These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man made rules learned by rote.

Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else:“ Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer:‘ I thank you, God, that I am not like other people— cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’“ But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,‘ O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

“ Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.

They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
