Matthew · Κατὰ Ματθαῖον

Matthew 9:16

ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
oydeis de epiballei epiblēma rakoys agnaphoy epi imatiō palaiō airei gar to plērōma aytoy apo toy imatioy kai cheiron schisma ginetai
King James Version (KJV)

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. {new: or, raw, or, unwrought}

Modern English

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
