Alles nun, was sie euch sagen, daß ihr halten sollt, das haltet und tut's; aber nach ihren Werken sollt ihr nicht tun: sie sagen's wohl, und tun's nicht.
Así que, todo lo que os dijeren que guardéis, guardadlo y hacedlo; mas no hagáis conforme a sus obras: porque dicen, y no hacen.
Faites donc et observez tout ce qu'ils vous disent; mais n'agissez pas selon leurs oeuvres. Car ils disent, et ne font pas.
Osservate adunque, e fate tutte le cose che vi diranno che osserviate; ma non fate secondo le opere loro; perchè dicono, ma non fanno.
Todas as coisas, pois, que vos disserem que observeis, observai-as e fazei-as; mas não procedais em conformidade com as suas obras, porque dizem e não fazem;
所以凡他們所吩咐你們的,你們都要謹守遵行。但不要效法他們的行為,因為他們能說不能行。
