Open English Bible (OEB)English
Remember, this is the third time that I have made every preparation to come to see you, and I will refuse to be a burden to you; I want, not your money, but you. It is not the duty of children to put by for their parents, but of parents to put by for their children.

Siehe, dieses dritte Mal stehe ich bereit, zu euch zu kommen, und werde nicht zur Last fallen, denn ich suche nicht das Eure, sondern euch. Denn die Kinder sollen nicht für die Eltern Schätze sammeln, sondern die Eltern für die Kinder.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
He aquí estoy aparejado para ir á vosotros la tercera vez, y no os seré gravoso; porque no busco vuestras cosas, sino á vosotros: porque no han de atesorar los hijos para los padres, sino los padres para los hijos.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Eis que estou prestes a vir pela terceira vez até vós, e não vos serei incômodo como um peso. Porque eu não busco o que é vosso, mas sim a vós. Porque os filhos não devem guardar bens para os pais, mas sim os pais para os filhos.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Vede! Estou pronto para voltar a vós pela terceira vez. Não vos serei um fardo; pois não quero o que é vosso, quero a vós outros. Pois os filhos não devem acumular bens para os pais, mas os pais acumular para os filhos.
