We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.

No nos encomendamos pues otra vez á vosotros, sino os damos ocasión de gloriaros por nosotros, para que tengáis qué responder contra los que se glorían en las apariencias, y no en el corazón.

¿Estamos otra vez tratando de recomendarnos ante ustedes? No; estamos tratando de ofrecerles argumentos contra quienes se fijan en las apariencias y no se interesan en lo que hay en el corazón. Por lo menos ustedes pueden sentirse orgullosos de nosotros.
