Nous savons, en effet, que, si cette tente où nous habitons sur la terre est détruite, nous avons dans le ciel un édifice qui est l'ouvrage de Dieu, une demeure éternelle qui n'a pas été faite de main d'homme.
Perciocchè noi sappiamo che, se il nostro terrestre albergo di questa tenda è disfatto, noi abbiamo da Dio un edificio, che è una casa fatta senza opera di mano, eterna ne’ cieli.
PORQUE sabemos que, se a nossa casa terrestre deste tabernáculo se desfizer, temos de Deus um edifício, uma casa não feita por mãos, eterna, nos céus.
