Denn auch sie selbst, die sich beschneiden lassen, halten das Gesetz nicht; sondern sie wollen, daß ihr euch beschneiden lasset, auf daß sie sich von eurem Fleisch rühmen mögen.
Porque ni aun los mismos que se circuncidan guardan la ley; sino que quieren que vosotros seáis circuncidados, para gloriarse en vuestra carne.
Porque ni siquiera los que se circuncidan guardan la ley, pero quieren que ustedes se circunciden para gloriarse en la carne de ustedes.
Car les circoncis eux-mêmes n'observent point la loi; mais ils veulent que vous soyez circoncis, pour se glorifier dans votre chair.
Poichè eglino stessi, che son circoncisi, non osservano la legge; ma vogliono che siate circoncisi, acciocchè si gloriino della vostra carne.
Porque nem ainda esses mesmos que se circuncidam guardam a lei, mas querem que vos circuncideis, para se gloriarem na vossa carne.
他們那些受割禮的,連自己也不守律法;他們要你們受割禮,不過是要拿你們的肉體誇口。
