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