Denn wo Neid und Zank ist, da ist Unordnung und eitel böses Ding.
Porque donde hay envidia y contención, allí hay perturbación y toda obra perversa.
Car là où il y a un zèle amer et un esprit de dispute, il y a du désordre et toutes sortes de mauvaises actions.
Perciocchè, dov’è invidia e contenzione, ivi è turbamento ed opera malvagia.
Porque onde há inveja e espírito faccioso aí há perturbação e toda a obra perversa.
在何處有嫉妒、自私,在何處就有動亂和各樣的壞事。
