Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

Die Speise dem Bauche und der Bauch der Speise; aber Gott wird diesen und jene zunichte machen. Der Leib aber nicht der Hurerei, sondern dem HERRN, und der HERR dem Leibe.
Las viandas para el vientre, y el vientre para las viandas; empero y a Él y a ellas deshará Dios. Mas el cuerpo no es para la fornicación, sino para el Señor; y el Señor para el cuerpo:
Los alimentos son para el estómago y el estómago para los alimentos, pero Dios pondrá fin a ambos. En cambio, el cuerpo no es para la inmoralidad sexual, sino para el Señor, y el Señor para el cuerpo.
Les aliments sont pour le ventre, et le ventre pour les aliments; et Dieu détruira l'un comme les autres. Mais le corps n'est pas pour l'impudicité. Il est pour le Seigneur, et le Seigneur pour le corps.
Le vivande son per il ventre, ed il ventre per le vivande; e Iddio distruggerà e quello, e queste; ma il corpo non è per la fornicazione, anzi per lo Signore, e il Signore per lo corpo.
Os alimentos são para o estômago e o estômago para os alimentos; Deus, porém, aniquilará tanto um como os outros. Mas o corpo não é para a prostituição, senão para o SENHOR, e o SENHOR para o corpo.
「食物是為肚腹,肚腹是為食物」;但上帝要使這兩樣都毀壞。身體不是為淫亂,而是為主;主也是為身體。
