Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
1Et ego, fratres, non potui vobis loqui quasi spiritualibus, sed quasi carnalibus. Tamquam parvulis in Christo,
2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
2lac vobis potum dedi, non escam: nondum enim poteratis: sed nec nunc quidem potestis: adhuc enim carnales estis.
3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
3Cum enim sit inter vos zelus, et contentio: nonne carnales estis, et secundum hominem ambulatis?
4For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
4Cum enim quis dicat: Ego quidem sum Pauli; alius autem: Ego Apollo: nonne homines estis? Quid igitur est Apollo? quid vero Paulus?
5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.
5ministri ejus, cui credidistis, ut unicuique sicut Dominus dedit.
6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
6Ego plantavi, Apollo rigavit: sed Deus incrementum dedit.
7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
7Itaque neque qui plantat est aliquid, neque qui rigat: sed qui incrementum dat, Deus.
8He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
8Qui autem plantat, et qui rigat, unum sunt. Unusquisque autem propriam mercedem accipiet, secundum suum laborem.
9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
9Dei enim sumus adjutores: Dei agricultura estis, Dei ædificatio estis.
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
10Secundum gratiam Dei, quæ data est mihi, ut sapiens architectus fundamentum posui: alius autem superædificat. Unusquisque autem videat quomodo superædificet.
11For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11Fundamentum enim aliud nemo potest ponere præter id quod positum est, quod est Christus Jesus.
12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
12Si quis autem superædificat super fundamentum hoc, aurum, argentum, lapides pretiosos, ligna, fœnum, stipulam,
13his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
13uniuscujusque opus manifestum erit: dies enim Domini declarabit, quia in igne revelabitur: et uniuscujusque opus quale sit, ignis probabit.
14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
14Si cujus opus manserit quod superædificavit, mercedem accipiet.
15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
15Si cujus opus arserit, detrimentum patietur: ipse autem salvus erit, sic tamen quasi per ignem.
16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
16Nescitis quia templum Dei estis, et Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis?
17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
17Si quis autem templum Dei violaverit, disperdet illum Deus. Templum enim Dei sanctum est, quod estis vos.
18Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.
18Nemo se seducat: si quis videtur inter vos sapiens esse in hoc sæculo, stultus fiat ut sit sapiens.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
19Sapientia enim hujus mundi, stultitia est apud Deum. Scriptum est enim: Comprehendam sapientes in astutia eorum.
20And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
20Et iterum: Dominus novit cogitationes sapientium quoniam vanæ sunt.
21Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
21Nemo itaque glorietur in hominibus.
22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
22Omnia enim vestra sunt, sive Paulus, sive Apollo, sive Cephas, sive mundus, sive vita, sive mors, sive præsentia, sive futura: omnia enim vestra sunt:
23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
23vos autem Christi: Christus autem Dei.
