Wäret ihr von der Welt, so hätte die Welt das Ihre lieb; weil ihr aber nicht von der Welt seid, sondern ich habe euch von der Welt erwählt, darum haßt euch die Welt.
Si fuerais del mundo, el mundo amaría lo suyo; mas porque no sois del mundo, antes yo os elegí del mundo, por eso os aborrece el mundo.
Si vous étiez du monde, le monde aimerait ce qui est à lui; mais parce que vous n'êtes pas du monde, et que je vous ai choisis du milieu du monde, à cause de cela le monde vous hait.
Se voi foste del mondo, il mondo amerebbe ciò che sarebbe suo; ma, perciocchè voi non siete del mondo, anzi io vi ho eletti dal mondo, perciò vi odia il mondo.
Se vós fôsseis do mundo, o mundo amaria o que era seu, mas porque não sois do mundo, antes eu vos escolhi do mundo, por isso é que o mundo vos odeia.
你們若屬世界,世界會愛屬自己的;只因你們不屬世界,而是我從世界中揀選了你們,所以世界就恨你們。
