Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Incipimus iterum nosmetipsos commendare? aut numquid egemus (sicut quidam) commendatitiis epistolis ad vos, aut ex vobis?
1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
2Epistola nostra vos estis, scripta in cordibus nostris, quæ scitur, et legitur ab omnibus hominibus:
2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
3manifestati quod epistola estis Christi, ministrata a nobis, et scripta non atramento, sed Spiritu Dei vivi: non in tabulis lapideis, sed in tabulis cordis carnalibus.
3Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
4Fiduciam autem talem habemus per Christum ad Deum:
4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
5non quod sufficientes simus cogitare aliquid a nobis, quasi ex nobis: sed sufficientia nostra ex Deo est:
5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
6qui et idoneos nos fecit ministros novi testamenti: non littera, sed Spiritu: littera enim occidit, Spiritus autem vivificat.
6Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.
7Quod si ministratio mortis litteris deformata in lapidibus fuit in gloria, ita ut non possent intendere filii Israël in faciem Moysi propter gloriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuatur:
7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:
8quomodo non magis ministratio Spiritus erit in gloria?
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
9Nam si ministratio damnationis gloria est: multo magis abundat ministerium justitiæ in gloria.
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
10Nam nec glorificatum est, quod claruit in hac parte, propter excellentem gloriam.
10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11Si enim quod evacuatur, per gloriam est: multo magis quod manet, in gloria est.
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.
12Habentes igitur talem spem, multa fiducia utimur:
12Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:
13et non sicut Moyses ponebat velamen super faciem suam, ut non intenderent filii Israël in faciem ejus, quod evacuatur,
13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.
14sed obtusi sunt sensus eorum. Usque in hodiernum enim diem, idipsum velamen in lectione veteris testamenti manet non revelatum (quoniam in Christo evacuatur),
14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).
15sed usque in hodiernum diem, cum legitur Moyses, velamen positum est super cor eorum.
15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16Cum autem conversus fuerit ad Dominum, auferetur velamen.
16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17Dominus autem Spiritus est: ubi autem Spiritus Domini, ibi libertas.
17Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18Nos vero omnes, revelata facie gloriam Domini speculantes, in eamdem imaginem transformamur a claritate in claritatem, tamquam a Domini Spiritu.
18But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
