zu welchem ihr gekommen seid als zu dem lebendigen Stein, der von Menschen verworfen ist, aber bei Gott ist er auserwählt und köstlich.
Al cual allegándoos, piedra viva, reprobada cierto de los hombres, empero elegida de Dios, preciosa,
Acercándose a él, piedra viva, rechazada por los seres humanos, pero escogida y preciosa delante de Dios,
Approchez-vous de lui, pierre vivante, rejetée par les hommes, mais choisie et précieuse devant Dieu;
al quale accostandovi, come alla pietra viva, riprovata dagli uomini, ma dinanzi a Dio eletta, preziosa;
E, chegando-vos para ele, pedra viva, reprovada, na verdade, pelos homens, mas para com Deus eleita e preciosa,
要親近主,他是活石,雖然被人所丟棄,卻是上帝所揀選、所珍貴的。
