Acts 5:4

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
World English Bible (WEB)
Whiles it remained{G3306}{(G5723)}, was it not{G3780} thine own{G4671}{G3306}{(G5707)}? and{G2532} after it was sold{G4097}{(G5685)}, was it not{G5225}{(G5707)} in{G1722} thine own{G4674} power{G1849}? why{G5101}{G3754} hast thou conceived{G5087}{(G5639)} this{G5124} thing{G4229} in{G1722} thine{G4675} heart{G2588}? thou hast{G5574} not{G3756} lied{G5574}{(G5662)} unto men{G444}, but{G235} unto God{G2316}.
Strong's King James
(4) When it remained with you, didn't it remain your own and sold wasn't it in your authority? Why did you place this thing in your heart, you haven't lied to men, rather to The אֱלֹהִים Elohim."
The F.O.G*
[4] The property was yours to keep before you sold it, and the money was yours to do with as you pleased afterward. What possessed you to devise this deception? You haven't just lied to us—you've lied to God Himself!"
The F.O.G Paraphrase
while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why is it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;’
Young's Literal Translation
