Habt ihr aber bitteren Neid und Zank in eurem Herzen, so rühmt euch nicht und lügt nicht wider die Wahrheit.
Pero si tenéis envidia amarga y contención en vuestros corazones, no os gloriéis, ni seáis mentirosos contra la verdad:
Mais si vous avez dans votre coeur un zèle amer et un esprit de dispute, ne vous glorifiez pas et ne mentez pas contre la vérité.
Ma, se voi avete nel cuor vostro invidia amara e contenzione, non vi gloriate contro alla verità, e non mentite contro ad essa.
Mas, se tendes amarga inveja, e sentimento faccioso em vosso coração, não vos glorieis, nem mintais contra a verdade.
你們心裏若懷著惡毒的嫉妒和自私,就不可自誇,不可說謊話抵擋真理。
