Denn wer da weiß Gutes zu tun, und tut's nicht, dem ist's Sünde.
El pecado, pues, está en aquel que sabe hacer lo bueno, y no lo hace.
Celui donc qui sait faire ce qui est bien, et qui ne le fait pas, commet un péché.
Vi è adunque peccato a colui che sa fare il bene, e non lo fa
Aquele, pois, que sabe fazer o bem e não o faz, comete pecado.
所以,人若知道該行善而不去行,這就是他的罪了。
