Sintemal viele sich rühmen nach dem Fleisch, will ich mich auch rühmen.
Pues que muchos se glorían según la carne, también yo me gloriaré.
Ya que muchos se glorían conforme a la carne, yo también me gloriaré.
Puisqu'il en est plusieurs qui se glorifient selon la chair, je me glorifierai aussi.
Poichè molti si gloriano secondo la carne, io ancora mi glorierò.
Pois que muitos se gloriam segundo a carne, eu também me gloriarei.
既然有好些人憑著血氣在誇口,我也要誇口了。
