als die Freien, und nicht, als hättet ihr die Freiheit zum Deckel der Bosheit, sondern als die Knechte Gottes.
Como libres, y no como teniendo la libertad por cobertura de malicia, sino como siervos de Dios.
tant libres, sans faire de la liberté un voile qui couvre la méchanceté, mais agissant comme des serviteurs de Dieu.
come liberi, ma non avendo la libertà per coverta di malizia; anzi, come servi di Dio.
Como livres, e não tendo a liberdade por cobertura da malícia, mas como servos de Deus.
雖然你們是自由的,卻不可藉著自由遮蓋惡毒,總要作上帝的僕人。
