So nun Gott ihnen die gleiche Gabe gegeben hat wie auch uns, die da glauben an den HERRN Jesus Christus: wer war ich, daß ich konnte Gott wehren?
Así que, si Dios les dio el mismo don también como a nosotros que hemos creído en el Señor Jesucristo, ¿quién era yo que pudiese estorbar a Dios?
Así que, si Dios les dio el mismo don que a nosotros cuando creímos en el Señor Jesucristo, ¿quién era yo para poder estorbar a Dios?».
Or, puisque Dieu leur a accordé le même don qu'à nous qui avons cru au Seigneur Jésus-Christ, pouvais-je, moi, m'opposer à Dieu?
Dunque, poichè Iddio ha loro dato il dono pari come a noi ancora, che abbiam creduto nel Signore Gesù Cristo, chi era io da potere impedire Iddio?
Portanto, se Deus lhes deu o mesmo dom que a nós, quando havemos crido no Senhor Jesus Cristo, quem era então eu, para que pudesse resistir a Deus?
既然上帝給他們恩賜,像在我們信主耶穌基督的時候給了我們一樣,我是誰,能攔阻上帝嗎?」
