Corinthios I 3

1 Et ego, fratres, non potui vobis loqui quasi spiritualibus, sed quasi carnalibus. Tamquam parvulis in Christo,

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.

2 lac vobis potum dedi, non escam: nondum enim poteratis: sed nec nunc quidem potestis: adhuc enim carnales estis.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.

3 Cum enim sit inter vos zelus, et contentio: nonne carnales estis, et secundum hominem ambulatis?

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

4 Cum enim quis dicat: Ego quidem sum Pauli. Alius autem: Ego Apollo: nonne homines estis? Quid igitur est Apollo? quid vero Paulus?

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5 Ministri eius, cui credidistis, ut unicuique sicut Dominus dedit.

Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6 Ego plantavi, Apollo rigavit: sed Deus incrementum dedit.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 Itaque neque qui plantat est aliquid, neque qui rigat: sed, qui incrementum dat, Deus.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Qui autem plantat, et qui rigat, unum sunt. Unusquisque autem propriam mercedem accipiet secundum suum laborem.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 Dei enim sumus adiutores: Dei agricultura estis, Dei aedificatio estis.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.

10 Secundum gratiam Dei, quae data est mihi, ut sapiens architectus fundamentum posui: alius autem superaedificat. Unusquisque autem videat quomodo superaedificet.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

11 Fundamentum enim aliud nemo potest ponere praeter id, quod positum est, quod est Christus Iesus.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Si quis autem superaedificat super fundamentum hoc, aurum, argentum, lapides pretiosos, ligna, foenum, stipulam,

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 uniuscuiusque opus manifestum erit: dies enim Domini declarabit, quia in igne revelabitur: et uniuscuiusque opus quale sit, ignis probabit.

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

14 Si cuius opus manserit quod superaedificavit, mercedem accipiet.

If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 Si cuius opus arserit, detrimentum patietur: ipse autem salvus erit: sic tamen quasi per ignem.

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

16 Nescitis quia templum Dei estis, et Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis?

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 Si quis autem templum Dei violaverit, disperdet illum Deus. Templum enim Dei sanctum est, quod estis vos.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.

18 Nemo se seducat: si quis videtur inter vos sapiens esse in hoc saeculo, stultus fiat ut sit sapiens. (aiōn g165)

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Sapientia enim huius mundi, stultitia est apud Deum. Scriptum est enim: Comprehendam sapientes in astutia eorum.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 Et iterum: Dominus novit cogitationes sapientium quoniam vanae sunt.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Nemo itaque glorietur in hominibus.

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

22 Omnia enim vestra sunt, sive Paulus, sive Apollo, sive Cephas, sive mundus, sive vita, sive mors, sive praesentia, sive futura: omnia enim vestra sunt:

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23 vos autem Christi: Christus autem Dei.

And ye are Christ’s; and Christ [is] God’s.
