For who separates you from the others [as a faction leader]? – Who makes you superior and sets you apart from another, giving you the pre-eminence? What have you that was not given to you? If then you received it [from someone], why do you boast as if you had not received (but had gained it by your own efforts)? |
For who makes a distinction between you and others? And what do you have which you did not receive? But since also you received it, why are you boasting as though you did not receive it? |
For who makes you different from anybody else, and what have you got that was not given to you? And if anything has been given to you, why boast of it as if you had achieved it yourself? |
For who makes you superior? And what do you have that you did not get from someone? But if you got it from someone, why do you boast as though you had not? |
