But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. |
But God forbid that I should glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom (or by which – the cross) the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. |
But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which (or, whom) the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. |
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which (or, whom) the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. |
But far be it from me to glory [in anything or anyone] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world! |
For, as for me, far be it from me to be glorying except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom to me the world stands crucified and I to the world. |
Yet God forbid that I should boast about anything or anybody except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, which means that the world is a dead thing to me and I am a dead man to the world. |
But may it never be mine to boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world! |
