Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

Darum, ob ich euch geschrieben habe, so ist's doch nicht geschehen um des willen, der beleidigt hat, auch nicht um des willen, der beleidigt ist, sondern um deswillen, daß euer Fleiß gegen uns offenbar sein würde bei euch vor Gott.
Así que, aunque os escribí, no fue por causa del que hizo la injuria, ni por causa del que la padeció, mas para que os fuese manifiesta nuestra solicitud que tenemos por vosotros delante de Dios.
Así que, aunque les escribí, no fue por causa del que cometió el agravio ni del que lo sufrió, sino para que se les hiciera manifiesto ante Dios el empeño de ustedes por nosotros.
Si donc je vous ai écrit, ce n'était ni à cause de celui qui a fait l'injure, ni à cause de celui qui l'a reçue; c'était afin que votre empressement pour nous fût manifesté parmi vous devant Dieu.
Benchè adunque io vi abbia scritto, io non l’ho fatto, nè per colui che ha fatta l’ingiuria, nè per colui a cui è stata fatta; ma, acciocchè fosse manifestato fra voi, davanti a Dio, lo studio nostro, che noi abbiamo per voi.
Portanto, ainda que vos escrevi, não foi por causa do que fez o agravo, nem por causa do que sofreu o agravo, mas para que o vosso grande cuidado por nós fosse manifesto diante de Deus.
所以,雖然我從前寫信給你們,卻不是為那虧負人的,也不是為那受人虧負的,而是要在上帝面前把你們顧念我們的熱忱表現出來。
