Bin ich andern nicht ein Apostel, so bin ich doch euer Apostel; denn das Siegel meines Apostelamts seid ihr in dem HERRN.
Si a los otros no soy apóstol, a vosotros ciertamente lo soy: porque el sello de mi apostolado sois vosotros en el Señor.
Si para otros no soy apóstol, al menos para ustedes sí lo soy, porque ustedes son el sello de mi apostolado en el Señor.
Si pour d'autres je ne suis pas apôtre, je le suis au moins pour vous; car vous êtes le sceau de mon apostolat dans le Seigneur.
Se io non sono apostolo agli altri, pur lo sono a voi; poichè voi siete il suggello del mio apostolato nel Signore
Se eu não sou apóstolo para os outros, ao menos o sou para vós; porque vós sois o selo do meu apostolado no Senhor.
假若對別人來說,我不是使徒,對你們來說,我總是使徒;因為你們在主裏正是我作使徒的印證。
