For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Predige ich denn jetzt Menschen oder Gott zu Dienst? Oder gedenke ich, Menschen gefällig zu sein? Wenn ich den Menschen noch gefällig wäre, so wäre ich Christi Knecht nicht.
Porque, ¿persuado yo ahora a hombres o a Dios? ¿ó busco de agradar a hombres? Cierto, que si todavía agradara a los hombres, no sería siervo de Cristo.
Porque ¿busco ahora la aprobación de los seres humanos o la de Dios? ¿O procuro agradar a la gente? Si todavía agradara a la gente, no sería esclavo de Cristo.
Et maintenant, est-ce la faveur des hommes que je désire, ou celle de Dieu? Est-ce que je cherche à plaire aux hommes? Si je plaisais encore aux hommes, je ne serais pas serviteur de Christ.
Perciocchè, induco io ora a credere agli uomini, ovvero a Dio? o cerco io di compiacere agli uomini? poichè, se compiacessi ancora agli uomini, io non sarei servitor di Cristo.
Porque, persuado eu agora a homens ou a Deus? ou procuro agradar a homens? Se estivesse ainda agradando aos homens, não seria servo de Cristo.
我現在是要得人的心,還是要得上帝的心呢?難道我在討人的喜歡嗎?我若仍舊想討人的喜歡,我就不是基督的僕人了。
