Oder wisset ihr nicht, daß, wer an der Hure hangt, der ist ein Leib mit ihr? Denn "es werden", spricht er, "die zwei ein Fleisch sein."
¿O no sabéis que el que se junta con una ramera, es hecho con ella un cuerpo? porque serán, dice, los dos en una carne.
¿O no saben que el que se une a una prostituta se hace un solo cuerpo con ella? Pues dice: «Los dos serán una sola carne».
Ne savez-vous pas que celui qui s'attache à la prostituée est un seul corps avec elle? Car, est-il dit, les deux deviendront une seule chair.
Non sapete voi che chi si congiunge con una meretrice è uno stesso corpo con essa? perciocchè i due, dice il Signore, diverranno una stessa carne.
Ou não sabeis que o que se ajunta com a meretriz, faz-se um corpo com ela? Porque serão, disse, dois numa só carne.
你們豈不知道與娼妓苟合的,就是與她成為一體嗎?因為主說:「二人要成為一體。」
