und bei uns beschlossen hatten, wir müßten sterben. Das geschah aber darum, damit wir unser Vertrauen nicht auf uns selbst sollen stellen, sondern auf Gott, der die Toten auferweckt,
Mas nosotros tuvimos en nosotros mismos respuesta de muerte, para que no confiemos en nosotros mismos, sino en Dios que levanta los muertos:
De hecho, sentimos en nosotros mismos la sentencia de muerte, para que no confiáramos en nosotros mismos, sino en Dios, que resucita a los muertos.
Et nous regardions comme certain notre arrêt de mort, afin de ne pas placer notre confiance en nous-mêmes, mais de la placer en Dieu, qui ressuscite les morts.
Anzi avevamo già in noi stessi la sentenza della morte; acciocchè noi non ci confidiamo in noi stessi, ma in Dio, il qual risuscita i morti;
Mas já em nós mesmos tínhamos a sentença de morte, para que não confiássemos em nós, mas em Deus, que ressuscita os mortos;
自己心裏也斷定是必死無疑,這是要使我們不依靠自己,只依靠使死人復活的上帝。
