(so aber jemand seinem eigenen Hause nicht weiß vorzustehen, wie wird er die Gemeinde Gottes versorgen?);
(Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)
Porque, si alguno no sabe dirigir su propia casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?
car si quelqu'un ne sait pas diriger sa propre maison, comment prendra-t-il soin de l'Eglise de Dieu?
Ma, se alcuno non sa governar la sua propria famiglia, come avrà egli cura della chiesa di Dio?
(Porque, se alguém não sabe governar a sua própria casa, terá cuidado da igreja de Deus?);
人若不知道管理自己的家,怎能照管上帝的教會呢?
