Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
1Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis.
2For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
2Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis.
3We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
3Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum:
4but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
4sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis,
5in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
5in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis,
6in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
6in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu Sancto, in caritate non ficta,
7in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
7in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiæ a dextris et a sinistris,
8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
8per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per infamiam, et bonam famam: ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti:
9as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
9quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus: ut castigati, et non mortificati:
10as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
10quasi tristes, semper autem gaudentes: sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes: tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
11Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
11Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corinthii; cor nostrum dilatatum est.
12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
12Non angustiamini in nobis: angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris:
13Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
13eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos.
14Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
14Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quæ enim participatio justitiæ cum iniquitate? aut quæ societas luci ad tenebras?
15What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
15quæ autem conventio Christi ad Belial? aut quæ pars fideli cum infideli?
16What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
16qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: [Quoniam inhabitabo in illis, et inambulabo inter eos, et ero illorum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
17Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
17Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis:
18I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
18et ego recipiam vos: et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.]
