Acts 19:27

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

So {G1161} that not {G3756} only {G3440} this {G5124} our {G2254} craft {G3313} is in danger {G2793} to be set {G2064} 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}, and {G1161}{G2532} her {G846} magnificence {G3168} should {G3195} be destroyed {G2507}, whom {G3739} all {G3650} Asia {G773} and {G2532} the world {G3625} worshippeth {G4576}.

Now the danger is not only that the reputation of our trade will suffer, but that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will come to be taken lightly. It could end up with the goddess herself, who is worshipped throughout the province of Asia and indeed throughout the whole world, being ignominiously brought down from her divine majesty!”

There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”

and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
