Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain.
1Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis.
2For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis.
3Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed:
3Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum:
4But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses,
4sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis,
5In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
5in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis,
6In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned,
6in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu Sancto, in caritate non ficta,
7In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left;
7in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiæ a dextris et a sinistris,
8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known;
8per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per infamiam, et bonam famam: ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti:
9As dying, and behold we live; as chastised, and not killed;
9quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus: ut castigati, et non mortificati:
10As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
10quasi tristes, semper autem gaudentes: sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes: tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
11Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
11Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corinthii; cor nostrum dilatatum est.
12You are not straitened in us, but in your own bowels you are straitened.
12Non angustiamini in nobis: angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris:
13But having the same recompense, (I speak as to my children,) be you also enlarged.
13eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos.
14Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
14Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quæ enim participatio justitiæ cum iniquitate? aut quæ societas luci ad tenebras?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?
15quæ autem conventio Christi ad Belial? aut quæ pars fideli cum infideli?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
16qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: [Quoniam inhabitabo in illis, et inambulabo inter eos, et ero illorum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
17Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:
17Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis:
18And I will receive you; and I will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
18et ego recipiam vos: et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.]
