Epistola I ad Corinthios

Audet aliquis vestrum habens negotium adversus alterum, judicari apud iniquos, et non apud sanctos?

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints?

Aliquo vestro aude habente negotio contra altero, iudica apud iniquo, et non apud sancto?

an nescitis quoniam sancti de hoc mundo judicabunt? et si in vobis judicabitur mundus, indigni estis qui de minimis judicetis?

Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

An ne sci quia sancto de hoc mundo iudica? Et si in vos mundo iudica, indigno es qui de minimo iudica?

Nescitis quoniam angelos judicabimus? quanto magis sæcularia?

Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world?

Ne sci quia angelos iudica? Quanto magis saeculare?

Sæcularia igitur judicia si habueritis: contemptibiles, qui sunt in ecclesia, illos constituite ad judicandum.

If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church.

Saeculare ergo iudicios si habe: contemptibile, qui es in ecclesia, illos constitue ad iudica.

Ad verecundiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit judicare inter fratrem suum?

I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren?

Ad verecundia vestro dic. Sic non es inter vos sape ullo, qui pote iudica inter fratre suo?

Sed frater cum fratre judicio contendit: et hoc apud infideles?

But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.

Sed fratre cum fratre iudicio contende: et hoc apud infidele?

Jam quidem omnino delictum est in vobis, quod judicia habetis inter vos. Quare non magis injuriam accipitis? quare non magis fraudem patimini?

Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

Jam quidem omnino delicto es in vos, quod iudicios habe inter vos. Quare non magis iniuria accipe? Quare non magis fraude pate?

Sed vos injuriam facitis, et fraudatis: et hoc fratribus.

But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.

Sed vos fac iniuria, et frauda: et hoc fratres.

An nescitis quia iniqui regnum Dei non possidebunt? Nolite errare: neque fornicarii, neque idolis servientes, neque adulteri,

Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers:

An ne sci quia iniquo posside regno non de Deo? Ne vol erra: neque fornicario, neque ad idolos servi, neque adulteras,

neque molles, neque masculorum concubitores, neque fures, neque avari, neque ebriosi, neque maledici, neque rapaces regnum Dei possidebunt.

Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.

Neque molle, neque masculo concubitores, neque fures, neque avaro, neque ebrioso, neque maledico, neque rapace regno de Deo posside.

Et hæc quidam fuistis: sed abluti estis, sed sanctificati estis, sed justificati estis in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et in Spiritu Dei nostri.

And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God.

Et hoc uno es: sed ablue es, sed sanctifica es, sed iustifica es in nomine de Domino nostro de Iesu de Christo, et in Spiritu de Deo nostro.

Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt: omnia mihi licent, sed ego sub nullis redigar potestate.

All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Omni ad me lice, sed non omni expedie: omni ad me lice, sed me sub nullo redige potestate.

Esca ventri, et venter escis: Deus autem et hunc et has destruet: corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino: et Dominus corpori.

Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body.

Esca ad ventre, et ventre ad escas: deo autem et hoc et hoc destrue: corpore autem non ad fornicatione, sed ad Domino: et Domino ad corpore.

Deus vero et Dominum suscitavit: et nos suscitabit per virtutem suam.

Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.

Deo vero suscita et Domino: et nos suscita per virtute suo.

Nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra sunt Christi? Tollens ergo membra Christi, faciam membra meretricis? Absit.

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid!

Ne sci quia corpores vestro membros es de Christo? Tolle ergo membros de Christo, fac membros de meretrice? Abes.

An nescitis quoniam qui adhæret meretrici, unum corpus efficitur? Erunt enim (inquit) duo in carne una.

Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

An ne sci quia qui adhaere ad meretrice, uno corpore efficie? Es nam (dic) duo in carne uno.

Qui autem adhæret Domino, unus spiritus est.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Qui autem adhaere ad Domino, uno spiritu es.

Fugite fornicationem. Omne peccatum, quodcumque fecerit homo, extra corpus est: qui autem fornicatur, in corpus suum peccat.

Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Fuge fornicatione. Omni peccato, homine fac omni, extra corpore es: qui autem fornicor, in corpore suo pecca.

An nescitis quoniam membra vestra, templum sunt Spiritus Sancti, qui in vobis est, quem habetis a Deo, et non estis vestri?

Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own?

An ne sci quia membros vestro, templo es de Spiritu Sancto, qui in vos es, quem habe ab Deo, et non es vestro?

Empti enim estis pretio magno. Glorificate, et portate Deum in corpore vestro.

For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.

Eme nam es pretio magna. Elorifica, et porta Deo in corpore vestro.
