But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

Sintemal aber im Fleisch leben dient, mehr Frucht zu schaffen, so weiß ich nicht, welches ich erwählen soll.
Mas si el vivir en la carne, esto me será para fruto de la obra, no sé entonces qué escoger;
Mais s'il est utile pour mon oeuvre que je vive dans la chair, je ne saurais dire ce que je dois préférer.
Or io non so se il vivere in carne mi è vantaggio, nè ciò che io debbo eleggere.
Mas, se o viver na carne me der fruto da minha obra, não sei então o que deva escolher.
但是,我在肉身活著,若能有工作的成果,我就不知道該挑選甚麼。
