Gott sei aber gedankt, daß ihr Knechte der Sünde gewesen seid, aber nun gehorsam geworden von Herzen dem Vorbilde der Lehre, welchem ihr ergeben seid.
Empero gracias a Dios, que aunque fuisteis siervos del pecado, habéis obedecido de corazón a aquella forma de doctrina a la cual sois entregados;
Pero gracias a Dios, porque, aunque eran esclavos del pecado, obedecieron de corazón a la forma de enseñanza a la que fueron entregados.
Mais grâces soient rendues à Dieu de ce que, après avoir été esclaves du péché, vous avez obéi de coeur à la règle de doctrine dans laquelle vous avez été instruits.
Ora, ringraziato sia Iddio, ch’eravate servi del peccato; ma avete di cuore ubbidito alla forma della dottrina, nella quale siete stati tramutati.
Mas graças a Deus que, tendo sido servos do pecado, obedecestes de coração à forma de doutrina a que fostes entregues.
感謝上帝!因為你們從前雖然作罪的奴隸,現在卻從心裏順服了所傳給你們教導的典範。
