Und wenn ihr leihet, von denen ihr hoffet zu nehmen, was für Dank habt ihr davon? Denn die Sünder leihen den Sündern auch, auf daß sie Gleiches wiedernehmen.
Y si prestareis a aquellos de quienes esperáis recibir, ¿qué gracias tendréis? porque también los pecadores prestan a los pecadores, para recibir otro tanto.
Si prestan a aquellos de quienes esperan recibir, ¿qué mérito tienen? También los pecadores prestan a los pecadores para recibir otro tanto.
Et si vous prêtez à ceux de qui vous espérez recevoir, quel gré vous en saura-t-on? Les pécheurs aussi prêtent aux pécheurs, afin de recevoir la pareille.
E se prestate a coloro da’ quali sperate riaverlo, che grazie ne avrete? poichè i peccatori prestano a’ peccatori, per riceverne altrettanto.
E se emprestardes àqueles de quem esperais tornar a receber, que recompensa tereis? Também os pecadores emprestam aos pecadores, para tornarem a receber outro tanto.
你們若借給人,希望從他收回,有甚麼可感謝的呢?就是罪人也借給罪人,再如數收回。
