Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1De iis autem quæ idolis sacrificantur, scimus quia omnes scientiam habemus. Scientia inflat, caritas vero ædificat.
1Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.
2Si quis autem se existimat scire aliquid, nondum cognovit quemadmodum oporteat eum scire.
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.
3Si quis autem diligit Deum, hic cognitus est ab eo.
3But if any any love God, the same is known by him.
4De escis autem quæ idolis immolantur, scimus quia nihil est idolum in mundo, et quod nullus est Deus, nisi unus.
4But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5Nam etsi sunt qui dicantur dii sive in cælo, sive in terra (siquidem sunt dii multi, et domini multi):
5For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many).
6nobis tamen unus est Deus, Pater, ex quo omnia, et nos in illum: et unus Dominus Jesus Christus, per quem omnia, et nos per ipsum.
6Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7Sed non in omnibus est scientia. Quidam autem cum conscientia usque nunc idoli, quasi idolothytum manducant: et conscientia ipsorum cum sit infirma, polluitur.
7But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8Esca autem nos non commendat Deo. Neque enim si manducaverimus, abundabimus: neque si non manducaverimus, deficiemus.
8But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
9Videte autem ne forte hæc licentia vestra offendiculum fiat infirmis.
9But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.
10Si enim quis viderit eum, qui habet scientiam, in idolio recumbentem: nonne conscientia ejus, cum sit infirma, ædificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta?
10For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?
11Et peribit infirmus in tua scientia, frater, propter quem Christus mortuus est?
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?
12Sic autem peccantes in fratres, et percutientes conscientiam eorum infirmam, in Christum peccatis.
12Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13Quapropter si esca scandalizat fratrem meum, non manducabo carnem in æternum, ne fratrem meum scandalizem.
13Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.
