Assamese: কিয়নো খ্রীষ্টই মোক বাপ্তিস্ম দিবৰ কাৰণে নহয়, কিন্তু শুভবার্তা প্রচাৰ কৰিবৰ কাৰণেহে পঠাইছে। খ্রীষ্টৰ ক্রুচৰ পৰাক্রম যেন বিফল নহয়, সেয়ে তেওঁ মোক এই শুভবার্তা মানুহৰ জ্ঞানেৰেও প্রচাৰ কৰিবলৈ পঠোৱা নাই।

Bengali: কারণ খ্রীষ্ট আমাকে বাপ্তিস্ম দেওয়ার জন্য পাঠান নি, কিন্তু সুসমাচার প্রচার করার জন্য; তা জ্ঞানের বাক্য নয়, যেন খ্রীষ্টের ক্রুশ বিফলে না যায় ।
Gujarati: કારણ કે બાપ્તિસ્મા કરવા માટે નહિ, પણ સુવાર્તા પ્રગટ કરવા માટે, ખ્રિસ્તે મને મોકલ્યો; [એ કામ] વિદ્વતાથી ભરેલા પ્રવચનથી નહિ, એમ ન થાય કે ખ્રિસ્તનો વધસ્તંભ નિરર્થક થાય.

Kannada: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದು ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನಮಾಡಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ಸುವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾರುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ. ಅದನ್ನು ಮನುಷ್ಯಜ್ಞಾನದ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಂದ ಸಾರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕಳುಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ; ಹಾಗೆ ಸಾರಿದರೆ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ಮಾತಿನ ಚತುರತೆಯಿಂದ ನಿರರ್ಥಕವಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.
Malayalam: സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിപ്പാൻ അല്ല സുവിശേഷം അറിയിപ്പാനത്രെ ക്രിസ്തു എന്നെ അയച്ചത്; എന്നാൽ ക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ ക്രൂശിന്റെ മാഹാത്മ്യത്തിന് കുറവ് വരാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിന് വാക്ചാതുര്യത്തോടെ അല്ലതാനും.
Marathi: कारण ख्रिस्ताने मला बाप्तिस्मा करण्यासाठी नाही तर शुभवर्तमान सांगण्यासाठी पाठवले, तो देखील मानवी ज्ञानाने नव्हे, यासाठी की, ख्रिस्ताच्या वधस्तंभाचे सामर्थ्य व्यर्थ होऊ नये.
