It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Yes, they were glad to do so; and indeed it is a duty which they owe to them. For the Gentile converts who have shared their spiritual blessings are in duty bound to minister to them in the things of this world.

Es hat ihnen nämlich wohlgefallen, auch sind sie ihre Schuldner. Denn wenn die Nationen ihrer geistlichen Güter teilhaftig geworden sind, so sind sie schuldig, ihnen auch in den leiblichen zu dienen.

Porque les pareció bueno, y son deudores á ellos: porque si los Gentiles han sido hechos participantes de sus bienes espirituales, deben también ellos servirles en los carnales.

Isso lhes pareceu bem, como quem está em dívida para com eles; porque, se os gentios foram participantes dos seus bens espirituais, devem também ajudá-los com os materiais.

Decidiram assim porque, de fato, eles são devedores; pois, se os gentios compartilharam das coisas espirituais com eles, devem também servir-los nas coisas materiais.
