Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
1De spiritualibus autem, nolo vos ignorare fratres.
2You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
2Scitis quoniam cum gentes essetis, ad simulacra muta prout ducebamini euntes.
3Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
3Ideo notum vobis facio, quod nemo in Spiritu Dei loquens, dicit anathema Jesu. Et nemo potest dicere, Dominus Jesus, nisi in Spiritu Sancto.
4Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
4Divisiones vero gratiarum sunt, idem autem Spiritus:
5There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
5et divisiones ministrationum sunt, idem autem Dominus:
6There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
6et divisiones operationum sunt, idem vero Deus qui operatur omnia in omnibus.
7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
7Unicuique autem datur manifestatio Spiritus ad utilitatem.
8For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
8Alii quidem per Spiritum datur sermo sapientiæ: alii autem sermo scientiæ secundum eumdem Spiritum:
9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
9alteri fides in eodem Spiritu: alii gratia sanitatum in uno Spiritu:
10and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
10alii operatio virtutum, alii prophetia, alii discretio spirituum, alii genera linguarum, alii interpretatio sermonum.
11But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
11Hæc autem omnia operantur unus atque idem Spiritus, dividens singulis prout vult.
12For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
12Sicut enim corpus unum est, et membra habet multa, omnia autem membra corporis cum sint multa, unum tamen corpus sunt: ita et Christus.
13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
13Etenim in uno Spiritu omnes nos in unum corpus baptizati sumus, sive Judæi, sive gentiles, sive servi, sive liberi: et omnes in uno Spiritu potati sumus.
14For the body is not one member, but many.
14Nam et corpus non est unum membrum, sed multa.
15If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
15Si dixerit pes: Quoniam non sum manus, non sum de corpore: num ideo non est de corpore?
16If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
16Et si dixerit auris: Quoniam non sum oculus, non sum de corpore: num ideo est de corpore?
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
17Si totum corpus oculus: ubi auditus? Si totum auditus: ubi odoratus?
18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
18Nunc autem posuit Deus membra, unumquodque eorum in corpore sicut voluit.
19If they were all one member, where would the body be?
19Quod si essent omnia unum membrum, ubi corpus?
20But now they are many members, but one body.
20Nunc autem multa quidem membra, unum autem corpus.
21The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
21Non potest autem oculus dicere manui: Opera tua non indigeo: aut iterum caput pedibus: Non estis mihi necessarii.
22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
22Sed multo magis quæ videntur membra corporis infirmiora esse, necessariora sunt:
23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
23et quæ putamus ignobiliora membra esse corporis, his honorem abundantiorem circumdamus: et quæ inhonesta sunt nostra, abundantiorem honestatem habent.
24while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
24Honesta autem nostra nullius egent: sed Deus temperavit corpus, ei cui deerat, abundantiorem tribuendo honorem,
25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
25ut non sit schisma in corpore, sed idipsum pro invicem sollicita sint membra.
26When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
26Et si quid patitur unum membrum, compatiuntur omnia membra: sive gloriatur unum membrum, congaudent omnia membra.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
27Vos autem estis corpus Christi, et membra de membro.
28God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
28Et quosdam quidem posuit Deus in ecclesia primum apostolos, secundo prophetas, exinde doctores, deinde virtutes, exinde gratias curationum, opitulationes, gubernationes, genera linguarum, interpretationes sermonum.
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
29Numquid omnes apostoli? numquid omnes prophetæ? numquid omnes doctores?
30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
30numquid omnes virtutes? numquid omnes gratiam habent curationum? numquid omnes linguis loquuntur? numquid omnes interpretantur?
31But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
31Æmulamini autem charismata meliora. Et adhuc excellentiorem viam vobis demonstro.
