Bin ich nicht ein Apostel? Bin ich nicht frei? Habe ich nicht unsern HERRN Jesus Christus gesehen? Seid ihr nicht mein Werk in dem HERRN?
¿No soy apóstol? ¿no soy libre? ¿no he visto a Jesús el Señor nuestro? ¿no sois vosotros mi obra en el Señor?
¿No soy libre? ¿No soy apóstol? ¿No he visto a Jesús, nuestro Señor? ¿No son ustedes mi obra en el Señor?
Ne suis-je pas libre? Ne suis-je pas apôtre? N'ai-je pas vu Jésus notre Seigneur? N'êtes-vous pas mon oeuvre dans le Seigneur?
NON sono io apostolo? non sono io libero? non ho io veduto il nostro Signor Gesù Cristo? non siete voi l’opera mia nel Signore?
NÃO sou eu apóstolo? Não sou livre? Não vi eu a Jesus Cristo SENHOR nosso? Não sois vós a minha obra no Senhor?
我不是自由的嗎?我不是使徒嗎?我不是見過我們的主耶穌嗎?你們不是我在主裏面工作的成果嗎?
