Corinthios Ii 3
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Incipimus iterum nosmetipsos commendare? aut numquid egemus (sicut quidam) commendatitiis epistolis ad vos, aut ex vobis?
1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others , epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2Epistola nostra vos estis, scripta in cordibus nostris, quæ scitur, et legitur ab omnibus hominibus:
2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of 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.
3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4Fiduciam autem talem habemus per Christum ad Deum:
4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5non quod sufficientes simus cogitare aliquid a nobis, quasi ex nobis: sed sufficientia nostra ex Deo est:
5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6qui et idoneos nos fecit ministros novi testamenti: non littera, sed Spiritu: littera enim occidit, Spiritus autem vivificat.
6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
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:
7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8quomodo non magis ministratio Spiritus erit in gloria?
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9Nam si ministratio damnationis gloria est: multo magis abundat ministerium justitiæ in gloria.
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10Nam nec glorificatum est, quod claruit in hac parte, propter excellentem gloriam.
10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, 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 glorious.
12Habentes igitur talem spem, multa fiducia utimur:
12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13et non sicut Moyses ponebat velamen super faciem suam, ut non intenderent filii Israël in faciem ejus, quod evacuatur,
13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
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 minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15sed usque in hodiernum diem, cum legitur Moyses, velamen positum est super cor eorum.
15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16Cum autem conversus fuerit ad Dominum, auferetur velamen.
16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17Dominus autem Spiritus est: ubi autem Spiritus Domini, ibi libertas.
17Now the Lord is that 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, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
