Gott aber ist nicht der Toten, sondern der Lebendigen Gott. Darum irrt ihr sehr.
No es Dios de muertos, mas Dios de vivos; así que vosotros mucho erráis.
Dieu n'est pas Dieu des morts, mais des vivants. Vous êtes grandement dans l'erreur.
Iddio non è Dio de’ morti, ma Dio de’ viventi. Voi adunque errate grandemente
Ora, Deus não é de mortos, mas sim, é Deus de vivos. Por isso vós errais muito.
上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。你們是大錯了。」
