17. Formal Translation Obey your leaders and yield to them, for they themselves keep watch over your souls as those who will render an account, so that they may do this with joy and not with groaning; for this would be unprofitable for you. |
17. Dynamic Translation Obey your spiritual guides and willingly accept their authority, since they are staying alert for your lives as people who must give a report. Let them fulfill this duty gladly and not with complaint, because that would be of no benefit to you. |
