Epistola I ad Corinthios

Nolo enim vos ignorare fratres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt,

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea.

Ne vol nam vos ignora fratres, quia patres nostro omni sub nube es, et omni mari transi,

et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari:

And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea:

Et omni in Moyse baptiza es in nube, et in mari:

et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt,

And did all eat the same spiritual food:

Et omni manduca idem esca spiritali,

et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt (bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra: petra autem erat Christus):

And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.)

Et omni humo potu spiritali bibe (bibe autem de spiritali, consequor illos, petra: petra autem es Christo):

sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo: nam prostrati sunt in deserto.

But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.

Sed non in multo de illos beneplace es ad Deo: nam prosterne es in deserto.

Hæc autem in figura facta sunt nostri, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicut et illi concupierunt.

Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted.

Hoc autem in figura facto es nostro, ut non es concupisce de malos, sicut et illo concupie.

Neque idololatræ efficiamini, sicut quidam ex ipsis: quemadmodum scriptum est: Sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere.

Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.

Neque idololatras efficie, sicut uno ex ipso: quemadmodum scripto es: populo sede manduca, et bibe, et surge lude.

Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria millia.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them that committed fornication: and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neque fornicor, sicut uno ex ipso fornicor es, et tre uno die viginti mile cade.

Neque tentemus Christum, sicut quidam eorum tentaverunt, et a serpentibus perierunt.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and perished by the serpent.

Neque tenta Christo, sicut uno de illos tenta, et ab serpentes peri.

Neque murmuraveritis, sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt, et perierunt ab exterminatore.

Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.

Neque murmura, sicut uno de illos murmura, et peri ab exterminatore.

Hæc autem omnia in figura contingebant illis: scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quos fines sæculorum devenerunt.

Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Hoc autem omni in figura continge ad illos: scribe es autem ad correptione nostro, in que fines de saeculos deveni.

Itaque qui se existimat stare, videat ne cadat.

Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.

Itaque qui se existima sta, vide ne cade.

Tentatio vos non apprehendat nisi humana: fidelis autem Deus est, qui non patietur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed faciet etiam cum tentatione proventum ut possitis sustinere.

Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.

Tentatione apprehende non vos nisi humano: fideli autem Deo es, qui non pate vos tenta supra id quod pote, sed i fac etiam cum tentatione proventu ut pote sustine.

Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura:

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.

Propter quod, carissimo ad me, fuge ab idolos cultura:

ut prudentibus loquor, vos ipsi judicate quod dico.

I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.

Ut ad prudente loque, vos ipso iudica quod dic.

Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est? et panis quem frangimus, nonne participatio corporis Domini est?

The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

Calice de benedictione, ad que benedic, nonne communicatione de sanguine de Christo es? Et pane quem frange, nonne participatione de corpore de Domino es?

Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes qui de uno pane participamus.

For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread.

Quia uno pane, uno corpore multo es, omni qui de uno pane participa.

Videte Israël secundum carnem: nonne qui edunt hostias, participes sunt altaris?

Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Vide Israële secundo carne: nonne qui ede hostias, participes es de altari?

Quid ergo? dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid? aut quod idolum, sit aliquid?

What then? Do I say that what is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? Or that the idol is any thing?

Quid ergo? Dic quod ad idolos immola es aliquo? Aut quod idolo, es aliquo?

Sed quæ immolant gentes, dæmoniis immolant, et non Deo. Nolo autem vos socios fieri dæmoniorum:

But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.

Sed que immola gentes, daemonios immola, et non ad Deo. Ne vol autem vos socios fieri de daemonios:

non potestis calicem Domini bibere, et calicem dæmoniorum; non potestis mensæ Domini participes esse, et mensæ dæmoniorum.

You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils.

Non pote calice de Domino bibe, et calice de daemonios; non pote de mensa de Domino participes es, et de mensa de daemonios.

An æmulamur Dominum? numquid fortiores illo sumus? Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me: but all things are not expedient.

An aemulor Domino? Numquid forti illo es? Omni ad me lice, sed non omni expedie.

Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia ædificat.

All things are lawful for me: but all things do not edify.

Omni ad me lice, sed non omni aedifica.

Nemo quod suum est quærat, sed quod alterius.

Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's.

Nemo quaere quod suo es, sed quod de altero.

Omne quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience' sake.

Omni quod in macello veni, manduca, nihil interroga propter conscientia.

Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus.

The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.

De domino es terra, et plenitudine de illo.

Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire: omne quod vobis apponitur, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.

If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

Si qui voca vos de infidele, et vol i: omni quod ad vos appone, manduca, nihil interroga propter conscientia.

Si quis autem dixerit: Hoc immolatum est idolis: nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam:

But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake.

Si qui autem dic: hoc immola es ad idolos: ne vol manduca propter illo qui indica, et propter conscientia:

conscientiam autem dico non tuam, sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea judicatur ab aliena conscientia?

Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

Conscientia autem dic non tuo, sed de altero. Ut quid nam libertate meo iudica ab aliena conscientia?

Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago?

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

Si me cum gratia participa, quid blasphema pro eo quod gratias age?

Sive ergo manducatis, sive bibitis, sive aliud quid facitis: omnia in gloriam Dei facite.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.

Sive ergo manduca, sive bibe, sive alio quid fac: omni in gloria de Deo fac.

Sine offensione estote Judæis, et gentibus, et ecclesiæ Dei:

Be without offence to the Jew, and to the Gentiles and to the church of God:

Sine offensione es ad Iudaeos, et ad gentes, et ad ecclesia de Deo:

sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quærens quod mihi utile est, sed quod multis: ut salvi fiant.

As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved.

Sicut et me per omni ad omni place, non quaere quod ad me utile es, sed quod ad multo: ut salva fi.
