Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armamini: quia qui passus est in carne, desiit a peccatis:
1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2ut jam non desideriis hominum, sed voluntati Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.
2that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for 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 we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4In quo admirantur non concurrentibus vobis in eamdem luxuriæ confusionem, blasphemantes.
4They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
5Qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est judicare vivos et mortuos.
5They will give 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 to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
7Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes, et vigilate in orationibus.
7But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
8Ante omnia autem, mutuam in vobismetipsis caritatem continuam habentes: quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum.
8And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9Hospitales invicem sine murmuratione.
9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10Unusquisque, sicut accepit gratiam, in alterutrum illam administrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiæ Dei.
10As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
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 anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12Carissimi, nolite peregrinari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat:
12Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
13sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriæ ejus gaudeatis exsultantes.
13But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice 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 are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
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 an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
16Si autem ut christianus, non erubescat: glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine:
16But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
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 has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
18et si justus vix salvabitur, impius et peccator ubi parebunt?
18“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
19Itaque et hi, qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei, fideli Creatori commendent animas suas in benefactis.
19Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
