Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,
1Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
2in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
3prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.
3Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.
4Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
5sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.
6These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.
7Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
7But avoid foolish and old wives’ fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.
8Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.
8For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
9A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
10For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11Præcipe hæc, et doce.
11These things command and teach.
12Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.
12Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
13Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.
13Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
14Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
14Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
15Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
15Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.
16Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
16Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
