Denn euer Gehorsam ist bei jedermann kund geworden. Derhalben freue ich mich über euch; ich will aber, daß ihr weise seid zum Guten, aber einfältig zum Bösen.
Porque vuestra obediencia ha venido a ser notoria a todos; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en el bien, y simples en el mal.
La noticia de su obediencia ha llegado a todos. Por eso me alegro por ustedes; pero quiero que sean sabios para el bien e inocentes para el mal.
Pour vous, votre obéissance est connue de tous; je me réjouis donc à votre sujet, et je désire que vous soyez sages en ce qui concerne le bien et purs en ce qui concerne le mal.
Poichè la vostra ubbidienza è divolgata fra tutti; laonde io mi rallegro per cagion vostra; or io desidero che siate savi al bene; e semplici al male.
Quanto à vossa obediência, é ela conhecida de todos. Comprazo-me, pois, em vós; e quero que sejais sábios no bem, mas simples no mal.
你們的順服已經傳於眾人,所以我為你們歡喜;但我願你們在善上聰明,在惡上愚拙。
