welche keiner von den Obersten dieser Welt erkannt hat; denn so sie die erkannt hätten, hätten sie den HERRN der Herrlichkeit nicht gekreuzigt.
La que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo conoció; porque si la hubieran conocido, nunca hubieran crucificado al Señor de gloria:
sagesse qu'aucun des chefs de ce siècle n'a connue, car, s'ils l'eussent connue, ils n'auraient pas crucifié le Seigneur de gloire.
La quale niuno de’ principi di questo secolo ha conosciuta; perciocchè, se l’avessero conosciuta, non avrebbero crocifisso il Signor della gloria.
A qual nenhum dos príncipes deste mundo conheceu; porque, se a conhecessem, nunca crucificariam ao Senhor da glória.
這智慧,今世有權有位的人沒有一個知道,若知道,他們就不會把榮耀的主釘在十字架上了。
