Wir aber haben nicht empfangen den Geist der Welt, sondern den Geist aus Gott, daß wir wissen können, was uns von Gott gegeben ist;
Y nosotros hemos recibido, no el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que es de Dios, para que conozcamos lo que Dios nos ha dado;
Nosotros no recibimos el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que viene de Dios, para conocer lo que Dios nos ha concedido gratuitamente.
Or nous, nous n'avons pas reçu l'esprit du monde, mais l'Esprit qui vient de Dieu, afin que nous connaissions les choses que Dieu nous a données par sa grâce.
Or noi abbiam ricevuto, non lo spirito del mondo, ma lo Spirito, il quale è da Dio; acciocchè conosciamo le cose che ci sono state donate da Dio.
Mas nós não recebemos o espírito do mundo, mas o Espírito que provém de Deus, para que pudéssemos conhecer o que nos é dado gratuitamente por Deus.
我們所領受的並不是世上的靈,而是從上帝來的靈,為使我們知道上帝把恩賜賞給我們的事。
