Mark 7:7 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

Jesus answered, “Isaiah was right about frauds like you, hit the bull’s-eye in fact: These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn’t in it. They act like they are worshiping me, but they don’t mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy, Ditching God’s command and taking up the latest fads.”

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’

Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are nothing but human rules.’

But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’

And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

‘THEY WORSHIP ME IN VAIN [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense], TEACHING THE PRECEPTS OF MEN AS DOCTRINES [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].’ [Is 29:13]

Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’

Their worship is nothing more than a charade! For they continue to insist that their man-made traditions are equal to the instructions of God.’

in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
