Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
World English Bible (WEB)
So{G1161} that not{G3756} only{G3440} this{G5124} our{G2254} craft{G3313} is in danger{G2793}{(G5719)} to be set{G2064}{(G5629)} at{G1519} nought{G557}; but{G235} also{G2532} that the temple{G2411} of the great{G3173} goddess{G2299} Diana{G735} should be despised{G1519}{G3762}{G3049}{(G5683)}, and{G1161}{G2532} her{G846} magnificence{G3168} should{G3195}{(G5721)} be destroyed{G2507}{(G5745)}, whom{G3739} all{G3650} Asia{G773} and{G2532} the world{G3625} worshippeth{G4576}{(G5736)}.
KJV with Strongs
(27) Now, not only is there risk that this share of ours falls into disrepute, yet also the temple of the great Artemis will be counted worthless! She who both all Asia and the inhabited earth worship, will be brought down from her grandeur!
The F.O.G
[27] His voice grew more urgent: "We're not just facing financial ruin. The temple of our great goddess Artemis might lose its reputation. The goddess worshipped throughout Asia and the world might be robbed of her divine majesty!"
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.’
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
