For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.

For {G1063} whether {G1535} we be beside ourselves {G1839}, it is to God {G2316}: or whether {G1535} we be sober {G4993}, it is for your cause {G5213}.

If we are insane, it is for God’s sake; and if we are sane, it is for your sake.

For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.
