Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
1Notum autem vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod prædicavi vobis, quod et accepistis, in quo et statis,
2By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
2per quod et salvamini: qua ratione prædicaverim vobis, si tenetis, nisi frustra credidistis.
3For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how 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:
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:
4et quia sepultus est, et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas:
5And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.
5et quia visus est Cephæ, et post hoc undecim:
6Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.
6deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul: ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc, quidam autem dormierunt:
7After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
7deinde visus est Jacobo, deinde Apostolis omnibus:
8And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.
8novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo, visus est et mihi.
9For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy 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 in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God 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:
11For whether I, or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.
11sive enim ego, sive illi: sic prædicamus, et sic credidistis.
12Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among 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?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again.
13Si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est: neque Christus resurrexit.
14And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
14Si autem Christus non resurrexit, inanis est ergo prædicatio nostra, inanis est et fides vestra:
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.
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 rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.
16Nam si mortui non resurgunt, neque Christus resurrexit.
17And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.
17Quod si Christus non resurrexit, vana est fides vestra: adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris.
18Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
18Ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo, perierunt.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
19Si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus, miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus.
20But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
20Nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiæ dormientium,
21For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
21quoniam quidem per hominem mors, et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum.
22And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
22Et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur.
23But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
23Unusquisque autem in suo ordine, primitiæ Christus: deinde ii qui sunt Christi, qui in adventu ejus crediderunt.
24Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
24Deinde finis: cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri, cum evacuaverit omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem.
25For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
25Oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus ejus.
26And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,
26Novissima autem inimica destruetur mors: omnia enim subjecit pedibus ejus. Cum autem dicat:
27All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
27Omnia subjecta sunt ei, sine dubio præter eum qui subjecit ei omnia.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, 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.
29Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
29Alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis, si omnino mortui non resurgunt? ut quid et baptizantur pro illis?
30Why also are we in danger every hour?
30ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora?
31I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31Quotidie morior per vestram gloriam, fratres, quam habeo in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
32If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
32Si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi, quid mihi prodest, si mortui non resurgunt? Manducemus, et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.
33Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
33Nolite seduci: corrumpunt mores bonos colloquia mala.
34Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.
34Evigilate justi, et nolite peccare: ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent, ad reverentiam vobis loquor.
35But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?
35Sed dicet aliquis: Quomodo resurgunt mortui? qualive corpore venient?
36Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.
36Insipiens, tu quod seminas non vivificatur, nisi prius moriatur:
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.
37et quod seminas, non corpus, quod futurum est, seminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta tritici, aut alicujus ceterorum.
38But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
38Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vult: ut unicuique seminum proprium corpus.
39All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
39Non omnis caro, eadem caro: sed alia quidem hominum, alia vero pecorum, alia volucrum, alia autem piscium.
40And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
40Et corpora cælestia, et corpora terrestria: sed alia quidem cælestium gloria, alia autem terrestrium.
41One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.
41Alia claritas solis, alia claritas lunæ, et alia claritas stellarum. Stella enim a stella differt in claritate:
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.
42sic et resurrectio mortuorum. Seminatur in corruptione, surget in incorruptione.
43It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.
43Seminatur in ignobilitate, surget in gloria: seminatur in infirmitate, surget in virtute:
44It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:
44seminatur corpus animale, surget corpus spiritale. Si est corpus animale, est et spiritale, sicut scriptum est:
45The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
45Factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem, novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem.
46Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
46Sed non prius quod spiritale est, sed quod animale: deinde quod spiritale.
47The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
47Primus homo de terra, terrenus: secundus homo de cælo, cælestis.
48Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
48Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni: et qualis cælestis, tales et cælestes.
49Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
49Igitur, sicut portavimus imaginem terreni, portemus et imaginem cælestis.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
50Hoc autem dico, fratres: quia caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidere non possunt: neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit.
51Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.
51Ecce mysterium vobis dico: omnes quidem resurgemus, sed non omnes immutabimur.
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
52In momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba: canet enim tuba, et mortui resurgent incorrupti: et nos immutabimur.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
53Oportet enim corruptibile hoc induere incorruptionem: et mortale hoc induere immortalitatem.
54And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
54Cum autem mortale hoc induerit immortalitatem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absorpta est mors in victoria.
55O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
55Ubi est mors victoria tua? ubi est mors stimulus tuus?
56Now the 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 hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
57Deo autem gratias, qui dedit nobis victoriam per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
58Itaque fratres mei dilecti, stabiles estote, et immobiles: abundantes in opere Domini semper, scientes quod labor vester non est inanis in Domino.
