Eins aber sei euch unverhalten, ihr Lieben, daß ein Tag vor dem HERRN ist wie tausend Jahre, und tausend Jahre wie ein Tag.
Mas, oh amados, no ignoréis esta una cosa: que un día delante del Señor es como mil años y mil años como un día.
Pero no olviden esto, amados: para el Señor un día es como mil años, y mil años como un día.
Mais il est une chose, bien-aimés, que vous ne devez pas ignorer, c'est que, devant le Seigneur, un jour est comme mille ans, et mille ans sont comme un jour.
Or quest’unica cosa non vi sia celata, diletti, che per il Signore un giorno è come mille anni, e mille anni come un giorno
Mas, amados, não ignoreis uma coisa, que um dia para o Senhor é como mil anos, e mil anos como um dia.
親愛的,有一件事你們不可忘記,就是:主看一日如千年,千年如一日。
