Ich sage aber vom Gewissen, nicht deiner selbst, sondern des andern. Denn warum sollte ich meine Freiheit lassen richten von eines andern Gewissen?
La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?
Me refiero a la conciencia del otro, no a la tuya. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por la conciencia de otro?
Je parle ici, non de votre conscience, mais de celle de l'autre. Pourquoi, en effet, ma liberté serait-elle jugée par une conscience étrangère?
Or io dico coscienza, non la tua propria, ma quella d’altrui; perciocchè, perchè sarebbe la mia libertà giudicata dalla coscienza altrui?
Digo, porém, a consciência, não a tua, mas a do outro. Pois por que há de a minha liberdade ser julgada pela consciência de outrem?
我說的良心不是你自己的,而是他的。我的自由為甚麼被別人的良心評斷呢?
