Oder habe ich gesündigt, daß ich mich erniedrigt habe, auf daß ihr erhöht würdet? Denn ich habe euch das Evangelium Gottes umsonst verkündigt
¿Pequé yo humillándome a mí mismo, para que vosotros fueseis ensalzados, porque os he predicado el evangelio de Dios de balde?
¿O cometí un pecado al humillarme para que ustedes fueran exaltados, porque les anuncié gratuitamente el evangelio de Dios?
Ou bien, ai-je commis un péché parce que, m'abaissant moi-même afin que vous fussiez élevés, je vous ai annoncé gratuitement l'Evangile de Dieu?
Ho io commesso peccato, in ciò che mi sono abbassato me stesso, acciocchè voi foste innalzati? inquanto che gratuitamente vi ho evangelizzato l’evangelo di Dio?
Pequei, porventura, humilhando-me a mim mesmo, para que vós fôsseis exaltados, porque de graça vos anunciei o evangelho de Deus?
