“ So you must be careful to do everything they say. But don’t do what they do. They don’t practice what they preach.

故凡所命爾者、悉行而守之、但勿效其所為、以其言而不行也、

凡命爾守者、守之、但勿為其所為、以其言而不行也、

故彼凡命爾守者、當守而行之、但勿效其所為、以其言而不行也、

爾等固應遵其所言、惟不可效其所行；蓋若輩有言而無行也。

So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.

So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.

Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practice what they teach.

Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and comply with it all, but do not do as they do; for they say things and do not do them.

Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practice what they teach.

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,[ that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach.

All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.

They claim to know God. But their actions show they don’t know him. They are hated by God. They refuse to obey him. They aren’t fit to do anything good.

They will act as if they were serving God. But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God’s power. Have nothing to do with these people.

If this is what God wants and if you do it, then you will be able to carry the load. And all these people will go home satisfied.”

Go near and listen to everything the Lord our God says. Then tell us what he tells you. We will listen and obey.”

All of you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God.

You think you know so much more than the people you teach. You think you’re helping blind people. You think you are a light for those in the dark.You think you can make foolish people wise. You act like you’re teaching little children. You think that the law gives you all knowledge and truth.You claim to teach others, but you don’t even teach yourself! You preach against stealing. But you steal!You say that people should not commit adultery. But you commit adultery! You hate statues of gods. But you rob temples!You brag about the law. But when you break it, you rob God of his honor!It is written,“ The Gentiles say evil things against God’s name because of you.”( Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22)

“ Then the father went to the other son. He said the same thing. The son answered,‘ I will, sir.’ But he did not go.

I have taught you rules and laws, just as the Lord my God commanded me. Obey them in the land you are entering to take as your very own.

But here is what God says to a sinful person.“ What right do you have to speak the words of my laws? How dare you speak the words of my covenant!You hate my teaching. You turn your back on what I say.When you see a thief, you join him. You make friends with those who commit adultery.You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.You are a witness against your brother. You always tell lies about your own mother’s son.

God helped the people of Judah. He helped them agree with one another. So they did what the king and his officials had ordered. They did what the Lord told them to do.

Go to a priest, who is a Levite. And go to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask them for their decision. They will give it to you.They’ll hand down their decisions at the place the Lord will choose. You must do what they decide. Be careful to do everything they tell you to do.Act according to whatever they teach you. Accept the decisions they give you. Don’t turn away from what they tell you. Don’t turn to the right or the left.Someone might show that they don’t respect the judge. Or they will show that they don’t respect the priest. The priest will serve the Lord your God at the place God will choose. If anyone doesn’t show respect for these people, that person must be put to death. Remove that evil person from Israel.

Peter and the other apostles replied,“ We must obey God instead of people!

Listen to me. I’ll give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must speak to God for the people. Take their problems to him.Teach them his rules and instructions. Show them how to live and what to do.

“ Why don’t your disciples obey what the elders teach? Your disciples don’t wash their hands before they eat!”Jesus replied,“ And why don’t you obey God’s command? You would rather follow your own teachings!God said,‘ Honor your father and mother.’( Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16) He also said,‘ Anyone who asks for bad things to happen to their father or mother must be put to death.’( Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9)But suppose people have something that might be used to help their parents. You allow them to say it is instead‘ a gift set apart for God.’So they do not need to honor their father or mother with their gift. You make the word of God useless in order to follow your own teachings.You pretenders! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you. He said,“‘ These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me.Their worship doesn’t mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules.’ ”( Isaiah 29:13)
