Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Der HERR aber stand mir bei und stärkte mich, auf daß durch mich die Predigt bestätigt würde und alle Heiden sie hörten; und ich ward erlöst von des Löwen Rachen.
Mas el Señor me ayudó, y me esforzó para que por mí fuese cumplida la predicación, y todos los Gentiles oyesen; y fui librado de la boca del león.
Pero el Señor estuvo a mi lado y me fortaleció, para que por medio de mí se proclamara plenamente el mensaje y lo oyeran todos los gentiles. Y fui librado de la boca del león.
C'est le Seigneur qui m'a assisté et qui m'a fortifié, afin que la prédication fût accomplie par moi et que tous les païens l'entendissent. Et j'ai été délivré de la gueule du lion.
Ma il Signore è stato meco, e mi ha fortificato; acciocchè la predicazione fosse per me appieno accertata, e che tutti i Gentili l’udissero; ed io sono stato liberato dalla gola del leone.
Mas o Senhor assistiu-me e fortaleceu-me, para que por mim fosse cumprida a pregação, e todos os gentios a ouvissem; e fiquei livre da boca do leão.
惟有主站在我身邊,加給我力量,使我能把福音完整地傳開,讓所有的外邦人都聽見;我也從獅子口裏被救出來。
