And now, if ye say this in your hearts, ye remain guiltless, otherwise ye are condemned,; and your condemnation is just: for ye covet that which ye have not received.
Simple English
'If you say this in your heart, you are not guilty of sin. But if you don’t say this, then you are guilty. Your punishment is fair because you want things you haven’t been given.'
Paraphrase
If you say this honestly, you’re innocent. Otherwise you’re condemned, and your judgment is fair—because you’re coveting what you don’t have.
