Luke 14:28-30 For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost,––whether he hath sufficient for completion;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost,––whether he hath sufficient for completion; ²⁹ lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at him, ³⁰ saying––This man, began to build, and was not able to finish!
