Galatians 4:17 | |
NASB: They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them. (NASB ©1995) GWT: These people [who distort the Good News] are devoted to you, but not in a good way. They don't want you to associate with me so that you will be devoted only to them. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. ASV: They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them. BBE: Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them. DBY: They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out from us, that ye may be zealous after them. WEY: These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them. WBS: They zealously affect you, but not well; for, they would exclude you, that ye may affect them. WEB: They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them. YLT: they are zealous for you -- [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous; | |
