Wahrlich ich sage euch: Wer nicht das Reich Gottes annimmt wie ein Kind, der wird nicht hineinkommen.
De cierto os digo, que cualquiera que no recibiere el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en Él.
En verdad les digo que el que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño jamás entrará en él».
Je vous le dis en vérité, quiconque ne recevra pas le royaume de Dieu comme un petit enfant n'y entrera point.
Io vi dico in verità, che chi non avrà ricevuto il regno di Dio come piccol fanciullo, non entrerà in esso
Em verdade vos digo que, qualquer que não receber o reino de Deus como menino, não entrará nele.
我實在告訴你們,凡要接受上帝國的,若不像小孩子,絕不能進去。」
