My LORD’s Bible1 Corinthians 1
The Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner's revision (1749-52), the standard English Bible of the Catholic Church for two centuries, translated from the Latin Vulgate, with the Clementine Vulgate Latin beside each verse. The English is that of Project Gutenberg's electronic text, with Challoner's notes left out; the Latin is the Clementine Vulgate of 1598, with the medieval Glossa Ordinaria commentary of the edition left out. Book names and chapter and verse numbers follow the Vulgate, so the Psalms are numbered as in the Vulgate (Psalm 22 here is Psalm 23 in the King James Version).
2To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours.
ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi, sanctificatis in Christo Jesu, vocatis sanctis, cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi, in omni loco ipsorum et nostro.
4I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus:
Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Jesu:
5That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge;
quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia.
6As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
Sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis:
7So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, exspectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
8Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
9God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri.
10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi: ut idipsum dicatis omnes, et non sint in vobis schismata: sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu, et in eadem sententia.
12Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephæ: ego autem Christi.
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Divisus est Christus? numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis?
14I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:
Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum et Caium:
15Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.
16And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum: ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.
18For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.
19For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.
20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor hujus sæculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam hujus mundi?
21For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.
Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes.
22For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom.
Quoniam et Judæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt:
23But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum: Judæis quidem scandalum, gentibus autem stultitiam,
24But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.
ipsis autem vocatis Judæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia:
25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.
26For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.
Videte enim vocationem vestram, fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles:
27But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia:
28And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret:
30But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption:
Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et justitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio:
31That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.
ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.
