Das Leben ist mehr denn die Speise, und der Leib mehr denn die Kleidung.
La vida más es que la comida, y el cuerpo que el vestido.
Porque la vida es más que el alimento, y el cuerpo más que la ropa.
La vie est plus que la nourriture, et le corps plus que le vêtement.
La vita è più che il nudrimento, e il corpo più che il vestimento.
Mais é a vida do que o sustento, e o corpo mais do que as vestes.
因為生命勝於飲食,身體勝於衣裳。
