They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

Ομολογουσιν οτι γνωριζουσι τον Θεον, με τα εργα ομως αρνουνται, βδελυκτοι οντες και απειθεις και εις παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
