Verse 1

Success in belief in God

is achieved through man’s actions.

When they fail, it is only

through their actions too.

You’d do anything it takes

to achieve something

more difficult and with more

suffering than believing in God.

Pre-chorus 1

And you’d treat it seriously

with no room for errors.

These are the kinds of efforts

you all put into your lives.

Chorus

You’ll do anything for

the things you’re devoted to,

but you would not do the same

for your belief in God.

Those who lack a heart of sincerity

are failures in their belief.

Aren’t there many who fail

among you?

Verse 2

You’d deceive God’s flesh

when you would not deceive kin.

These are the principles

you live by.

What you need’s not truth and life,

nor rules of self-conduct,

or God’s painstaking work,

instead all you have in flesh.

Pre-chorus 2

You dismiss God’s work

and don’t hear His words.

God sees how lightly

you treat your faith.

Chorus

You’ll do anything for

the things you’re devoted to,

but you would not do the same

for your belief in God.

Those who lack a heart of sincerity

are failures in their belief.

Aren’t there many who fail

among you?

Verse 3

God hopes you really try

for your destination’s sake,

though you’d better not be

deceitful,

or else God will be disappointed.

And where does that lead?

Are you not fooling

yourselves?

Bridge

Those who think on their destination

yet ruin it

are the ones least able

to be saved.

Even if flustered and upset,

who would take pity on this person?

God hopes you don’t fall to disaster

and your destination is good.

Chorus

You’ll do anything for

the things you’re devoted to,

but you would not do the same

for your belief in God.

Those who lack a heart of sincerity

are failures in their belief.

Aren’t there many who fail

among you?
