But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Wer aber an mir sündigt, der verletzt seine Seele. Alle, die mich hassen, lieben den Tod.
Mas el que peca contra mí, defrauda su alma: Todos los que me aborrecen, aman la muerte.
Mais celui qui pèche contre moi nuit à son âme; Tous ceux qui me haïssent aiment la mort.
Ma chi pecca contro a me fa ingiuria all’anima sua; Tutti quelli che mi odiano amano la morte
Mas o que pecar contra mim violentará a sua própria alma; todos os que me odeiam amam a morte.
得罪我的,害了自己的生命, 凡恨惡我的,喜愛死亡。」
