Und so ihr in dem Fremden nicht treu seid, wer wird euch geben, was euer ist?
Y si en lo ajeno no fuisteis fieles, ¿quién os dará lo que es vuestro?
Y si no han sido fieles en lo ajeno, ¿quién les dará lo que es de ustedes?
Et si vous n'avez pas été fidèles dans ce qui est à autrui, qui vous donnera ce qui est à vous?
E se non siete stati leali nell’altrui, chi vi darà il vostro?
E, se no alheio não fostes fiéis, quem vos dará o que é vosso?
如果你們在別人的東西上不忠心,誰還把你們自己的東西給你們呢?
