und arbeiten und wirken mit unsern eigenen Händen. Man schilt uns, so segnen wir; man verfolgt uns, so dulden wir's; man lästert uns, so flehen wir;
Y trabajamos, obrando con nuestras manos: nos maldicen, y bendecimos: padecemos persecución, y sufrimos:
Nos fatigamos trabajando con nuestras propias manos. Cuando nos insultan, bendecimos; cuando nos persiguen, lo soportamos;
nous nous fatiguons à travailler de nos propres mains; injuriés, nous bénissons; persécutés, nous supportons;
E ci affatichiamo, lavorando con le proprie mani; ingiuriati, benediciamo, perseguitati, comportiamo;
E nos afadigamos, trabalhando com nossas próprias mãos. Somos injuriados, e bendizemos; somos perseguidos, e sofremos;
並且勞碌,親手做工;被人咒罵,我們就祝福;被人迫害,我們就忍受;
