AS	For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means `there should be' strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
KJV	For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

KG	Hogy mikor újra odamegyek, megaláz engem az én Istenem ti köztetek, és sokakat megsiratok azok közül, akik ezelőtt vétkeztek és meg nem tértek a tisztátalanságból, paráznaságból és bujaságból, amit elkövettek.
