In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. |
Such [former] ages of ignorance God, it is true, ignored and allowed to pass unnoticed; but now He charges all people everywhere to repent (to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins), |
Now, therefore, the times of ignorance God having allowed to pass unnoticed, with reference to the present set of circumstances, He declares to men that everyone everywhere should be repenting, |
Now while it is true that God has overlooked the days of ignorance He now commands all men everywhere to repent. |
Though God overlooked those times of ignorance, He now commands all men everywhere to repent, |
And 3767 - 3303 the 3588 times 5550 of this ignorance 52 God 2316 winked 5237 at; but now 3569 commandeth 3853 all 3956 men 444 every where 3837 to repent: 3340 |
