Also werden die Letzten die Ersten und die Ersten die Letzten sein. Denn viele sind berufen, aber wenige auserwählt.
Así los primeros serán postreros, y los postreros primeros: porque muchos son llamados, mas pocos escogidos.
Así, los últimos serán primeros y los primeros serán últimos».
Ainsi les derniers seront les premiers, et les premiers seront les derniers.
Così, gli ultimi saranno primi, e i primi ultimi; perciocchè molti son chiamati, ma pochi eletti
Assim os derradeiros serão primeiros, e os primeiros derradeiros; porque muitos são chamados, mas poucos escolhidos.
這樣,那在後的,將要在前;在前的,將要在後了。」
