So liegt es nun nicht an jemandes Wollen oder Laufen, sondern an Gottes Erbarmen.
Así que no es del que quiere, ni del que corre, sino de Dios que tiene misericordia.
Así que no depende del que quiere ni del que corre, sino de Dios, que tiene misericordia.
Ainsi donc, cela ne dépend ni de celui qui veut, ni de celui qui court, mais de Dieu qui fait miséricorde.
Egli non è adunque di chi vuole, nè di chi corre, ma di Dio che fa misericordia.
Assim, pois, isto não depende do que quer, nem do que corre, mas de Deus, que se compadece.
由此看來,這不靠人的意願,也不靠人的努力,只靠上帝的憐憫。
