Denn sie reden stolze Worte, dahinter nichts ist, und reizen durch Unzucht zur fleischlichen Lust diejenigen, die recht entronnen waren denen, die im Irrtum wandeln,
Porque hablando arrogantes palabras de vanidad, ceban con las concupiscencias de la carne en disoluciones a los que verdaderamente habían huido de los que conversan en error;
Porque, pronunciando palabras arrogantes y vacías, seducen con deseos de la carne y desenfrenos a los que apenas están escapando de los que viven en el error.
Avec des discours enflés de vanité, ils amorcent par les convoitises de la chair, par les dissolutions, ceux qui viennent à peine d'échapper aux hommes qui vivent dans l'égarement;
Perciocchè, parlando cose vane sopra modo gonfie, adescano per concupiscenze della carne, e per lascivie, coloro che erano un poco fuggiti da quelli che conversano in errore.
Porque, falando coisas mui arrogantes de vaidades, engodam com as concupiscências da carne, e com dissoluções, aqueles que se estavam afastando dos que andam em erro,
他們說虛妄誇大的話,用肉體的情慾和淫蕩的事引誘那些剛脫離錯謬生活的人。
