Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Nun lehrst du andere, und lehrst dich selber nicht; du predigst, man solle nicht stehlen, und du stiehlst;
Tú pues, que enseñas a otro, ¿no te enseñas a ti mismo? ¿Tú, que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, hurtas?
entonces tú, que enseñas a otro, ¿no te enseñas a ti mismo? Tú, que predicas que no se debe robar, ¿robas?
toi donc, qui enseignes les autres, tu ne t'enseignes pas toi-même! Toi qui prêches de ne pas dérober, tu dérobes!
Tu adunque, che ammaestri gli altri, non ammaestri te stesso? tu, che predichi che non convien rubare, rubi?
Tu, pois, que ensinas a outro, não te ensinas a ti mesmo? Tu, que pregas que não se deve furtar, furtas?
那麼,你這教導別人的,還不教導自己嗎?你這宣講不可偷竊的,自己還偷竊嗎?
