Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
1Quicumque sunt sub jugo servi, dominos suos omni honore dignos arbitrentur, ne nomen Domini et doctrina blasphemetur.
2But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
2Qui autem fideles habent dominos, non contemnant, quia fratres sunt: sed magis serviant, quia fideles sunt et dilecti, qui beneficii participes sunt. Hæc doce, et exhortare.
3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
3Si quis aliter docet, et non acquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ei, quæ secundum pietatem est, doctrinæ:
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
4superbus est, nihil sciens, sed languens circa quæstiones, et pugnas verborum: ex quibus oriuntur invidiæ, contentiones, blasphemiæ, suspiciones malæ,
5Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
5conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum, et qui veritate privati sunt, existimantium quæstum esse pietatem.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6Est autem quæstus magnus pietas cum sufficientia.
7For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
7Nihil enim intulimus in hunc mundum: haud dubium quod nec auferre quid possumus.
8But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
8Habentes autem alimenta, et quibus tegamur, his contenti simus.
9For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
9Nam qui volunt divites fieri, incidunt in tentationem, et in laqueum diaboli, et desideria multa inutilia, et nociva, quæ mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem.
10For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
10Radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas: quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide, et inseruerunt se doloribus multis.
11But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
11Tu autem, o homo Dei, hæc fuge: sectare vero justitiam, pietatem, fidem, caritatem, patientiam, mansuetudinem.
12Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
12Certa bonum certamen fidei, apprehende vitam æternam, in qua vocatus es, et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus.
13I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
13Præcipio tibi coram Deo, qui vivificat omnia, et Christo Jesu, qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato, bonam confessionem,
14That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14ut serves mandatum sine macula, irreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
15Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
15quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens, Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium:
16Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.
16qui solus habet immortalitatem, et lucem inhabitat inaccessibilem: quem nullus hominum vidit, sed nec videre potest: cui honor, et imperium sempiternum. Amen.
17Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
17Divitibus hujus sæculi præcipe non sublime sapere, neque sperare in incerto divitiarum, sed in Deo vivo (qui præstat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum)
18To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
18bene agere, divites fieri in bonis operibus, facile tribuere, communicare,
19To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
19thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum, ut apprehendant veram vitam.
20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
20O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans profanas vocum novitates, et oppositiones falsi nominis scientiæ,
21Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
21quam quidam promittentes, circa fidem exciderunt. Gratia tecum. Amen.
