Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Notum autem vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod prædicavi vobis, quod et accepistis, in quo et statis,
1Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2per quod et salvamini: qua ratione prædicaverim vobis, si tenetis, nisi frustra credidistis.
2by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3Tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi: quoniam Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum Scripturas:
3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4et quia sepultus est, et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas:
4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5et quia visus est Cephæ, et post hoc undecim:
5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul: ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc, quidam autem dormierunt:
6Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7deinde visus est Jacobo, deinde Apostolis omnibus:
7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo, visus est et mihi.
8and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9Ego enim sum minimus Apostolorum, qui non sum dignus vocari Apostolus, quoniam persecutus sum ecclesiam Dei.
9For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
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:
10But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11sive enim ego, sive illi: sic prædicamus, et sic credidistis.
11Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12Si autem Christus prædicatur quod resurrexit a mortuis, quomodo quidam dicunt in vobis, quoniam resurrectio mortuorum non est?
12Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13Si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est: neque Christus resurrexit.
13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14Si autem Christus non resurrexit, inanis est ergo prædicatio nostra, inanis est et fides vestra:
14If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15invenimur autem et falsi testes Dei: quoniam testimonium diximus adversus Deum quod suscitaverit Christum, quem non suscitavit, si mortui non resurgunt.
15Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16Nam si mortui non resurgunt, neque Christus resurrexit.
16For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17Quod si Christus non resurrexit, vana est fides vestra: adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris.
17If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18Ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo, perierunt.
18Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19Si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus, miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus.
19If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20Nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiæ dormientium,
20But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21quoniam quidem per hominem mors, et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum.
21For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22Et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur.
22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23Unusquisque autem in suo ordine, primitiæ Christus: deinde ii qui sunt Christi, qui in adventu ejus crediderunt.
23But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24Deinde finis: cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri, cum evacuaverit omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem.
24Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25Oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus ejus.
25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26Novissima autem inimica destruetur mors: omnia enim subjecit pedibus ejus. Cum autem dicat:
26The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27Omnia subjecta sunt ei, sine dubio præter eum qui subjecit ei omnia.
27For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28Cum autem subjecta fuerint illi omnia: tunc et ipse Filius subjectus erit ei, qui subjecit sibi omnia, ut sit Deus omnia in omnibus.
28When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29Alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis, si omnino mortui non resurgunt? ut quid et baptizantur pro illis?
29Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
30ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora?
30Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31Quotidie morior per vestram gloriam, fratres, quam habeo in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
31I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32Si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi, quid mihi prodest, si mortui non resurgunt? Manducemus, et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.
32If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33Nolite seduci: corrumpunt mores bonos colloquia mala.
33Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34Evigilate justi, et nolite peccare: ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent, ad reverentiam vobis loquor.
34Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35Sed dicet aliquis: Quomodo resurgunt mortui? qualive corpore venient?
35But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36Insipiens, tu quod seminas non vivificatur, nisi prius moriatur:
36You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37et quod seminas, non corpus, quod futurum est, seminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta tritici, aut alicujus ceterorum.
37That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vult: ut unicuique seminum proprium corpus.
38But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39Non omnis caro, eadem caro: sed alia quidem hominum, alia vero pecorum, alia volucrum, alia autem piscium.
39All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40Et corpora cælestia, et corpora terrestria: sed alia quidem cælestium gloria, alia autem terrestrium.
40There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41Alia claritas solis, alia claritas lunæ, et alia claritas stellarum. Stella enim a stella differt in claritate:
41There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42sic et resurrectio mortuorum. Seminatur in corruptione, surget in incorruptione.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43Seminatur in ignobilitate, surget in gloria: seminatur in infirmitate, surget in virtute:
43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44seminatur corpus animale, surget corpus spiritale. Si est corpus animale, est et spiritale, sicut scriptum est:
44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45Factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem, novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem.
45So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46Sed non prius quod spiritale est, sed quod animale: deinde quod spiritale.
46However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47Primus homo de terra, terrenus: secundus homo de cælo, cælestis.
47The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni: et qualis cælestis, tales et cælestes.
48As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49Igitur, sicut portavimus imaginem terreni, portemus et imaginem cælestis.
49As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50Hoc autem dico, fratres: quia caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidere non possunt: neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit.
50Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51Ecce mysterium vobis dico: omnes quidem resurgemus, sed non omnes immutabimur.
51Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52In momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba: canet enim tuba, et mortui resurgent incorrupti: et nos immutabimur.
52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53Oportet enim corruptibile hoc induere incorruptionem: et mortale hoc induere immortalitatem.
53For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54Cum autem mortale hoc induerit immortalitatem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absorpta est mors in victoria.
54But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55Ubi est mors victoria tua? ubi est mors stimulus tuus?
55“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”
56Stimulus autem mortis peccatum est: virtus vero peccati lex.
56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57Deo autem gratias, qui dedit nobis victoriam per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
57But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Itaque fratres mei dilecti, stabiles estote, et immobiles: abundantes in opere Domini semper, scientes quod labor vester non est inanis in Domino.
58Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
