Und fürchtet euch nicht vor denen, die den Leib töten, und die Seele nicht können töten; fürchtet euch aber vielmehr vor dem, der Leib und Seele verderben kann in der Hölle.
Y no temáis a los que matan el cuerpo, mas al alma no pueden matar: temed antes a aquel que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno.
No teman a quienes matan el cuerpo, pero no pueden matar el alma. Teman más bien a aquel que puede destruir alma y cuerpo en el infierno.
Ne craignez pas ceux qui tuent le corps et qui ne peuvent tuer l'âme; craignez plutôt celui qui peut faire périr l'âme et le corps dans la géhenne.
E non temiate di coloro che uccidono il corpo, ma non possono uccider l’anima; ma temete più tosto colui che può far perire l’anima e il corpo nella geenna.
E não temais os que matam o corpo e não podem matar a alma; temei antes aquele que pode fazer perecer no inferno a alma e o corpo.
那殺人身體但不能滅人靈魂的,不要怕他們;惟有那能在地獄裏毀滅身體和靈魂的,才要怕他。
