Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
1Et ego, fratres, non potui vobis loqui quasi spiritualibus, sed quasi carnalibus. Tamquam parvulis in Christo,
2I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
2lac vobis potum dedi, non escam: nondum enim poteratis: sed nec nunc quidem potestis: adhuc enim carnales estis.
3for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
3Cum enim sit inter vos zelus, et contentio: nonne carnales estis, et secundum hominem ambulatis?
4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
4Cum enim quis dicat: Ego quidem sum Pauli; alius autem: Ego Apollo: nonne homines estis? Quid igitur est Apollo? quid vero Paulus?
5Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
5ministri ejus, cui credidistis, ut unicuique sicut Dominus dedit.
6I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
6Ego plantavi, Apollo rigavit: sed Deus incrementum dedit.
7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
7Itaque neque qui plantat est aliquid, neque qui rigat: sed qui incrementum dat, Deus.
8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
8Qui autem plantat, et qui rigat, unum sunt. Unusquisque autem propriam mercedem accipiet, secundum suum laborem.
9For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
9Dei enim sumus adjutores: Dei agricultura estis, Dei ædificatio estis.
10According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
10Secundum gratiam Dei, quæ data est mihi, ut sapiens architectus fundamentum posui: alius autem superædificat. Unusquisque autem videat quomodo superædificet.
11For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11Fundamentum enim aliud nemo potest ponere præter id quod positum est, quod est Christus Jesus.
12But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
12Si quis autem superædificat super fundamentum hoc, aurum, argentum, lapides pretiosos, ligna, fœnum, stipulam,
13each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
13uniuscujusque opus manifestum erit: dies enim Domini declarabit, quia in igne revelabitur: et uniuscujusque opus quale sit, ignis probabit.
14If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
14Si cujus opus manserit quod superædificavit, mercedem accipiet.
15If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
15Si cujus opus arserit, detrimentum patietur: ipse autem salvus erit, sic tamen quasi per ignem.
16Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
16Nescitis quia templum Dei estis, et Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis?
17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
17Si quis autem templum Dei violaverit, disperdet illum Deus. Templum enim Dei sanctum est, quod estis vos.
18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
18Nemo se seducat: si quis videtur inter vos sapiens esse in hoc sæculo, stultus fiat ut sit sapiens.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
19Sapientia enim hujus mundi, stultitia est apud Deum. Scriptum est enim: Comprehendam sapientes in astutia eorum.
20And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
20Et iterum: Dominus novit cogitationes sapientium quoniam vanæ sunt.
21Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
21Nemo itaque glorietur in hominibus.
22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
22Omnia enim vestra sunt, sive Paulus, sive Apollo, sive Cephas, sive mundus, sive vita, sive mors, sive præsentia, sive futura: omnia enim vestra sunt:
23and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
23vos autem Christi: Christus autem Dei.
