Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
1Nolo enim vos ignorare fratres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt,
2And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
2et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari:
3And did all eat the same spiritual food,
3et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt,
4And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
4et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt (bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra: petra autem erat Christus):
5But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
5sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo: nam prostrati sunt in deserto.
6Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
6Hæc autem in figura facta sunt nostri, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicut et illi concupierunt.
7Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7Neque idololatræ efficiamini, sicut quidam ex ipsis: quemadmodum scriptum est: Sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere.
8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
8Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria millia.
9Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
9Neque tentemus Christum, sicut quidam eorum tentaverunt, et a serpentibus perierunt.
10Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
10Neque murmuraveritis, sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt, et perierunt ab exterminatore.
11Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
11Hæc autem omnia in figura contingebant illis: scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quos fines sæculorum devenerunt.
12Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
12Itaque qui se existimat stare, videat ne cadat.
13Let 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.
13Tentatio 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.
14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
14Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura:
15I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
15ut prudentibus loquor, vos ipsi judicate quod dico.
16The 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?
16Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est? et panis quem frangimus, nonne participatio corporis Domini est?
17For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
17Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes qui de uno pane participamus.
18Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
18Videte Israël secundum carnem: nonne qui edunt hostias, participes sunt altaris?
19What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
19Quid ergo? dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid? aut quod idolum, sit aliquid?
20But 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.
20Sed quæ immolant gentes, dæmoniis immolant, et non Deo. Nolo autem vos socios fieri dæmoniorum:
21You 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.
21non potestis calicem Domini bibere, et calicem dæmoniorum; non potestis mensæ Domini participes esse, et mensæ dæmoniorum.
22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
22An æmulamur Dominum? numquid fortiores illo sumus? Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt.
23All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
23Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia ædificat.
24Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
24Nemo quod suum est quærat, sed quod alterius.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
25Omne quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
26The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
26Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus.
27If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
27Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire: omne quod vobis apponitur, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
28But 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.
28Si quis autem dixerit: Hoc immolatum est idolis: nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam:
29Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
29conscientiam autem dico non tuam, sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea judicatur ab aliena conscientia?
30If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
30Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago?
31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
31Sive ergo manducatis, sive bibitis, sive aliud quid facitis: omnia in gloriam Dei facite.
32Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
32Sine offensione estote Judæis, et gentibus, et ecclesiæ Dei:
33As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
33sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quærens quod mihi utile est, sed quod multis: ut salvi fiant.
