But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.

Nowª in thisª that I declareª° [unto you] I praiseª° [you] not,ª thatª ye come togetherª° notª forª the¹ better,ª butª forª the¹ worse.ª

Nowª in thisª that I declareª° [vnto you], I praiseª° you not,ª thatª you come togetherª° notª forª the¹ better,ª butª forª the¹ worse.ª

But this I prescribe not as praising you, because you go not forward, but to the less you descend.

This which I now enjoin, is not as praising you; for ye have not made progress, but have deteriorated.

Τοῦτο δὲ παραγγέλλων οὐκ ἐπαινῶ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸ κρεῖσσον ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸ ἧσσον συνέρχεσθε.

To-the-one-this moreover messaging-beside not I-laud-upon-unto to-which-a-one not into to-the-one to-superior, other into to-the-one to-inferior ye-come-together.
