Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armamini: quia qui passus est in carne, desiit a peccatis:
1Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
2ut jam non desideriis hominum, sed voluntati Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.
2That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
3Sufficit enim præteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam his qui ambulaverunt in luxuriis, desideriis, vinolentiis, comessationibus, potationibus, et illicitis idolorum cultibus.
3For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.
4In quo admirantur non concurrentibus vobis in eamdem luxuriæ confusionem, blasphemantes.
4Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
5Qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est judicare vivos et mortuos.
5Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6Propter hoc enim et mortuis evangelizatum est: ut judicentur quidem secundum homines in carne, vivant autem secundum Deum in spiritu.
6For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
7Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes, et vigilate in orationibus.
7But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
8Ante omnia autem, mutuam in vobismetipsis caritatem continuam habentes: quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum.
8But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
9Hospitales invicem sine murmuratione.
9Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
10Unusquisque, sicut accepit gratiam, in alterutrum illam administrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiæ Dei.
10As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11Si quis loquitur, quasi sermones Dei: si quis ministrat, tamquam ex virtute, quam administrat Deus: ut in omnibus honorificetur Deus per Jesum Christum: cui est gloria et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
11If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
12Carissimi, nolite peregrinari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat:
12Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
13sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriæ ejus gaudeatis exsultantes.
13But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
14Si exprobramini in nomine Christi, beati eritis: quoniam quod est honoris, gloriæ, et virtutis Dei, et qui est ejus Spiritus, super vos requiescit.
14If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
15Nemo autem vestrum patiatur ut homicida, aut fur, aut maledicus, aut alienorum appetitor.
15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men’s things.
16Si autem ut christianus, non erubescat: glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine:
16But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
17quoniam tempus est ut incipiat judicium a domo Dei. Si autem primum a nobis, quis finis eorum, qui non credunt Dei Evangelio?
17For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
18et si justus vix salvabitur, impius et peccator ubi parebunt?
18And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19Itaque et hi, qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei, fideli Creatori commendent animas suas in benefactis.
19Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
