You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

You know that at one time you were unbelievers. You were somehow drawn away to worship statues of gods that couldn’t even speak.

You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.

You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be led off to the idols that could not speak.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of indecent behavior, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries.

For they themselves report about us as to the kind of reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;

Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called“ Uncircumcision” by the so called“ Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

“ What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.Woe to him who says to a piece of wood,‘ Awake!’ To a mute stone,‘ Arise!’ That is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet there is no breath at all inside it.

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are not gods.

They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good.”

They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Leave them alone; they are blind guides of blind people. And if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”

They lift it on the shoulder, carry it, And set it in its place, and it stands there. It does not move from its place. Though one may shout to it, it cannot answer; It cannot save him from his distress.

So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, that you are to no longer walk just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their minds,being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;

knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
