Denn solche dienen nicht dem HERRN Jesus Christus, sondern ihrem Bauche; und durch süße Worte und prächtige Reden verführen sie unschuldige Herzen.
Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro Jesucristo, sino a sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.
Porque tales personas no sirven a nuestro Señor Cristo, sino a su propio vientre, y con palabras suaves y halagos engañan los corazones de los ingenuos.
Car de tels hommes ne servent point Christ notre Seigneur, mais leur propre ventre; et, par des paroles douces et flatteuses, ils séduisent les coeurs des simples.
Perciocchè tali non servono al nostro Signor Gesù Cristo, ma al proprio ventre; e con dolce e lusinghevol parlare, seducono i cuori de’ semplici.
Porque os tais não servem a nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, mas ao seu ventre; e com suaves palavras e lisonjas enganam os corações dos simples.
因為這樣的人不服侍我們的主基督,只服侍自己的肚腹,用花言巧語誘惑老實人的心。
