Petrus aber sprach zu ihm: Daß du verdammt werdest mit deinem Gelde, darum daß du meinst, Gottes Gabe werde durch Geld erlangt!
Entonces Pedro le dijo: Tu dinero perezca contigo, que piensas que el don de Dios se gane por dinero.
Pero Pedro le dijo: «¡Que tu dinero perezca contigo, porque pensaste que el don de Dios se podía adquirir con dinero!
Mais Pierre lui dit: Que ton argent périsse avec toi, puisque tu as cru que le don de Dieu s'acquérait à prix d'argent!
Ma Pietro gli disse: Vadano i tuoi danari teco in perdizione, poichè tu hai stimato che il dono di Dio si acquisti con danari.
Mas disse-lhe Pedro: O teu dinheiro seja contigo para perdição, pois cuidaste que o dom de Deus se alcança por dinheiro.
