ERVHI
17. अपने मार्ग दर्शकों की आज्ञा मानो। उनके अधीन रहो। वे तुम पर ऐसे चौकसी रखते हैं जैसे उन व्यक्तियों पर रखी जाती है जिनको अपना लेखा जोखा उन्हें देना है। उनकी आज्ञा मानो जिससे उनका कर्म आनन्द बन जाए। न कि एक बोझ बने। क्योंकि उससे तो तुम्हारा कोई लाभ नहीं होगा।
HOV
17. अपने अगुवों की मानो; और उनके आधीन रहो, क्योंकि वे उन की नाईं तुम्हारे प्राणों के लिये जागते रहते, जिन्हें लेखा देना पड़ेगा, कि वे यह काम आनन्द से करें, न कि ठंडी सांस ले लेकर, क्योंकि इस दशा में तुम्हें कुछ लाभ नहीं।
IRVHI
17. अपने अगुओं की मानो; और उनके अधीन रहो, क्योंकि वे उनके समान तुम्हारे प्राणों के लिये जागते रहते, जिन्हें लेखा देना पड़ेगा, कि वे यह काम आनन्द से करें, न कि ठंडी साँस ले लेकर, क्योंकि इस दशा में तुम्हें कुछ लाभ नहीं। (1 थिस्स. 5:12-13, प्रेरि. 20:28)
