Se siete vituperati per lo nome di Cristo, beati voi; poichè lo Spirito di gloria e di Dio, riposa sopra voi; ben è egli, quant’è a loro, bestemmiato; ma, quant’è a voi, è glorificato.
Se pelo nome de Cristo sois vituperados, bem-aventurados sois, porque sobre vós repousa o Espírito da glória e de Deus; quanto a eles, é ele, sim, blasfemado, mas quanto a vós, é glorificado.
