Wer an mich glaubt, wie die Schrift sagt, von des Leibe werden Ströme des lebendigen Wassers fließen.
El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, ríos de agua viva correrán de su vientre.
El que cree en mí, como dijo la Escritura, de su interior correrán ríos de agua viva».
Celui qui croit en moi, des fleuves d'eau vive couleront de son sein, comme dit l'Ecriture.
Chi crede in me, siccome ha detto la scrittura, dal suo seno coleranno fiumi d’acqua viva.
Quem crê em mim, como diz a Escritura, rios de água viva correrão do seu ventre.
信我的人,就如經上所說:『從他腹中將流出活水的江河來。』」
