Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,
1But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
2through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
3prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.
3forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know 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 is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
5sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
5For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.
6If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward 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 has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
9Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
9This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
10For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
11Præcipe hæc, et doce.
11Command and teach these things.
12Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.
12Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
13Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.
13Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
14Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
15Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
16Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
