Denn wir sind nicht, wie die vielen, die das Wort Gottes verfälschen; sondern als aus Lauterkeit und als aus Gott reden wir vor Gott in Christo.
Porque no somos como muchos, mercaderes falsos de la palabra de Dios: antes con sinceridad, como de Dios, delante de Dios, hablamos en Cristo.
Porque no somos como tantos que comercian con la palabra de Dios. Más bien, hablamos con sinceridad, como de parte de Dios, delante de Dios y en Cristo.
Car nous ne falsifions point la parole de Dieu, comme font plusieurs; mais c'est avec sincérité, mais c'est de la part de Dieu, que nous parlons en Christ devant Dieu.
Poichè noi non falsifichiamo la parola di Dio, come molti altri; ma come di sincerità, ma come da parte di Dio, parliamo in Cristo, nel cospetto di Dio
Porque nós não somos, como muitos, falsificadores da palavra de Deus, antes falamos de Cristo com sinceridade, como de Deus na presença de Deus.
我們不像許多人,把上帝的道當商品販賣,而是由於真誠,而是受命於上帝,在上帝面前憑著基督講道。
