Solches aber sage ich zu eurem Nutzen; nicht, daß ich euch einen Strick um den Hals werfe, sondern dazu, daß es fein zugehe und ihr stets ungehindert dem HERRN dienen könntet.
Esto empero digo para vuestro provecho; no para echaros lazo, sino para lo honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os lleguéis al Señor.
Esto lo digo para el provecho de ustedes, para que vivan de manera digna y se dediquen al Señor sin distracciones, sin pretender ponerles un lazo.
Je dis cela dans votre intérêt; ce n'est pas pour vous prendre au piège, c'est pour vous porter à ce qui est bienséant et propre à vous attacher au Seigneur sans distraction.
Ora, questo dico io per la vostra propria comodità; non per mettervi addosso un laccio, ma per ciò che è decente, e convenevole da attenervi costantemente al Signore, senza esser distratti
E digo isto para proveito vosso; não para vos enlaçar, mas para o que é decente e conveniente, para vos unirdes ao Senhor sem distração alguma.
我說這話是為你們的益處,不是要限制你們,而是要你們做合宜的事,得以不分心地對主忠誠。
