Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
1Notum autem vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod prædicavi vobis, quod et accepistis, in quo et statis,
2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
2per quod et salvamini: qua ratione prædicaverim vobis, si tenetis, nisi frustra credidistis.
3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
3Tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi: quoniam Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum Scripturas:
4that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
4et quia sepultus est, et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas:
5and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
5et quia visus est Cephæ, et post hoc undecim:
6After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
6deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul: ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc, quidam autem dormierunt:
7Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
7deinde visus est Jacobo, deinde Apostolis omnibus:
8And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
8novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo, visus est et mihi.
9For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
9Ego enim sum minimus Apostolorum, qui non sum dignus vocari Apostolus, quoniam persecutus sum ecclesiam Dei.
10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
10Gratia autem Dei sum id quod sum, et gratia ejus in me vacua non fuit, sed abundantius illis omnibus laboravi: non ego autem, sed gratia Dei mecum:
11Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
11sive enim ego, sive illi: sic prædicamus, et sic credidistis.
12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
12Si autem Christus prædicatur quod resurrexit a mortuis, quomodo quidam dicunt in vobis, quoniam resurrectio mortuorum non est?
13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
13Si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est: neque Christus resurrexit.
14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
14Si autem Christus non resurrexit, inanis est ergo prædicatio nostra, inanis est et fides vestra:
15In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
15invenimur autem et falsi testes Dei: quoniam testimonium diximus adversus Deum quod suscitaverit Christum, quem non suscitavit, si mortui non resurgunt.
16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
16Nam si mortui non resurgunt, neque Christus resurrexit.
17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
17Quod si Christus non resurrexit, vana est fides vestra: adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris.
18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
18Ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo, perierunt.
19If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
19Si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus, miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus.
20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
20Nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiæ dormientium,
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
21quoniam quidem per hominem mors, et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum.
22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
22Et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur.
23But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
23Unusquisque autem in suo ordine, primitiæ Christus: deinde ii qui sunt Christi, qui in adventu ejus crediderunt.
24Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.
24Deinde finis: cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri, cum evacuaverit omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem.
25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
25Oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus ejus.
26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
26Novissima autem inimica destruetur mors: omnia enim subjecit pedibus ejus. Cum autem dicat:
27For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
27Omnia subjecta sunt ei, sine dubio præter eum qui subjecit ei omnia.
28And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
28Cum autem subjecta fuerint illi omnia: tunc et ipse Filius subjectus erit ei, qui subjecit sibi omnia, ut sit Deus omnia in omnibus.
29If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
29Alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis, si omnino mortui non resurgunt? ut quid et baptizantur pro illis?
30And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
30ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora?
31I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31Quotidie morior per vestram gloriam, fratres, quam habeo in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
32If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
32Si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi, quid mihi prodest, si mortui non resurgunt? Manducemus, et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.
33Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
33Nolite seduci: corrumpunt mores bonos colloquia mala.
34Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
34Evigilate justi, et nolite peccare: ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent, ad reverentiam vobis loquor.
35But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
35Sed dicet aliquis: Quomodo resurgunt mortui? qualive corpore venient?
36You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
36Insipiens, tu quod seminas non vivificatur, nisi prius moriatur:
37And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
37et quod seminas, non corpus, quod futurum est, seminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta tritici, aut alicujus ceterorum.
38But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
38Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vult: ut unicuique seminum proprium corpus.
39Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
39Non omnis caro, eadem caro: sed alia quidem hominum, alia vero pecorum, alia volucrum, alia autem piscium.
40There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
40Et corpora cælestia, et corpora terrestria: sed alia quidem cælestium gloria, alia autem terrestrium.
41The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
41Alia claritas solis, alia claritas lunæ, et alia claritas stellarum. Stella enim a stella differt in claritate:
42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
42sic et resurrectio mortuorum. Seminatur in corruptione, surget in incorruptione.
43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
43Seminatur in ignobilitate, surget in gloria: seminatur in infirmitate, surget in virtute:
44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
44seminatur corpus animale, surget corpus spiritale. Si est corpus animale, est et spiritale, sicut scriptum est:
45So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
45Factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem, novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem.
46The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
46Sed non prius quod spiritale est, sed quod animale: deinde quod spiritale.
47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
47Primus homo de terra, terrenus: secundus homo de cælo, cælestis.
48As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
48Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni: et qualis cælestis, tales et cælestes.
49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
49Igitur, sicut portavimus imaginem terreni, portemus et imaginem cælestis.
50Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
50Hoc autem dico, fratres: quia caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidere non possunt: neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit.
51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
51Ecce mysterium vobis dico: omnes quidem resurgemus, sed non omnes immutabimur.
52in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
52In momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba: canet enim tuba, et mortui resurgent incorrupti: et nos immutabimur.
53For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
53Oportet enim corruptibile hoc induere incorruptionem: et mortale hoc induere immortalitatem.
54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
54Cum autem mortale hoc induerit immortalitatem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absorpta est mors in victoria.
55“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”
55Ubi est mors victoria tua? ubi est mors stimulus tuus?
56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
56Stimulus autem mortis peccatum est: virtus vero peccati lex.
57But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
57Deo autem gratias, qui dedit nobis victoriam per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
58Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
58Itaque fratres mei dilecti, stabiles estote, et immobiles: abundantes in opere Domini semper, scientes quod labor vester non est inanis in Domino.
