And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

Λεγω δε τουτο δια το συμφερον υμων αυτων, ουχι δια να βαλω εις εσας παγιδα, αλλα δια το σεμνοπρεπες, και δια να ησθε προσκεκολλημενοι εις τον Κυριον χωρις περισπασμους.

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
