NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Nolo enim vos ignorare, fra tres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nubefuerunt et omnes mare transierunt	1 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and they all went across the sea.
2 et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube etin mari	2 And in Moses, they all were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea.
3 et omnes eandem escam spiritalem manducaverunt	3 And they all ate of the same spiritual food.
4 et omnes eundem potumspiritalem biberunt; bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra; petraautem erat Christus.	4 And they all drank of the same spiritual drink. And so, they all were drinking of the spiritual rock seeking to obtain them; and that rock was Christ.
5 Sed non in pluribus eorum complacuit sibi Deus, namprostrati sunt in deserto.	5 But with most of them, God was not well-pleased. For they were struck down in the desert.
6 Haec autem figurae fuerunt nostrae, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicutet illi concupierunt.	6 Now these things were done as an example for us, so that we might not desire evil things, just as they desired.
7 Neque idolorum cultores efficiamini, sicut quidam exipsis; quemadmodum scriptum est: “ Sedit populus manducare et bibere, etsurrexerunt ludere ”.	7 And so, do not take part in idolatry, as some of them did, just as it was written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and then they rose up to amuse themselves.”
8 Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicatisunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria milia.	8 And let us not commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and so twenty-three thousand fell on one day.
9 Neque tentemus Christum, sicutquidam eorum tentaverunt et a serpentibus perierunt.	9 And let us not tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and so they perished by serpents.
10 Neque murmuraveritis,sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt et perierunt ab exterminatore.	10 And you should not murmur, as some of them murmured, and so they perished by the destroyer.
11 Haec autem infigura contingebant illis; scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quosfines saeculorum devenerunt.	11 Now all of these things happened to them as an example, and so they have been written for our correction, because the final age has fallen upon us.
12 Itaque, qui se existimat stare, videat, necadat.	12 And so, whosoever considers himself to be standing, let him be careful not to fall.
13 Tentatio vos non apprehendit nisi humana; fidelis autem Deus, qui nonpatietur vos tentari super id quod potestis, sed faciet cum tentatione etiamproventum, ut possitis sustinere.	13 Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.
14 Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura.	14 Because of this, most beloved of mine, flee from the worship of idols.
15 Ut prudentibusloquor; vos iudicate, quod dico:	15 Since I am speaking to those who are prudent, judge what I say for yourselves.
16 Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonnecommunicatio sanguinis Christi est? Et panis, quem frangimus, nonne communicatiocorporis Christi est?	16 The cup of benediction that we bless, is it not a communion in the Blood of Christ? And the bread that we break, is it not a participation in the Body of the Lord?
17 Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes enimde uno pane participamur.	17 Through the one bread, we, though many, are one body: all of us who are partakers of the one bread.
18 Videte Israel secundum carnem: nonne, qui edunthostias, communicantes sunt altari?	18 Consider Israel, according to the flesh. Are not those who eat from the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 Quid ergo dico? Quod idolothytum sit aliquid? Aut quod idolum sit aliquid?	19 What is next? Should I say that what is immolated to idols is anything? Or that the idol is anything?
20 Sed, quae immolant, daemoniis immolant et non Deo; nolo autem vos communicantesfieri daemoniis.	20 But the things that the Gentiles immolate, they immolate to demons, and not to God. And I do not want you to become partakers with demons.
21 Non potestis calicem Domini bibere et calicem daemoniorum;non potestis mensae Domini participes esse et mensae daemoniorum.	21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and partakers of the table of demons.
22 Anaemulamur Dominum? Numquid fortiores illo sumus?	22 Or should we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is? All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient.
23 “ Omnia licent! ”. Sed non omnia expediunt. “ Omnia licent! ”. Sednon omnia aedificant.	23 All is lawful to me, but not all is edifying.
24 Nemo, quod suum est, quaerat, sed quod alterius.	24 Let no one seek for himself, but for others.
25 Omne, quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propterconscientiam;	25 Whatever is sold in the market, you may eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.
26 Domini enim est terra, et plenitudo eius.	26 “The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord.”
27 Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire, omne, quod vobis apponitur,manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.	27 If you are invited by any unbelievers, and you are willing to go, you may eat whatever is set before you, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.
28 Si quis autem vobisdixerit: “ Hoc immolaticium est idolis ”, nolite manducare, propter illum,qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam;	28 But if anyone says, “This has been sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.
29 conscientiam autem dico non tuamipsius sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea iudicatur ab alia conscientia?	29 But I am referring to the conscience of the other person, not to yours. For why should my liberty be judged by the conscience of another?
30 Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo, quod gratias ago?	30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why should I be slandered over that for which I give thanks?
31 Sive ergo manducatis sive bibitis sive aliud quid facitis, omnia in gloriamDei facite.	31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God.
32 Sine offensione estote Iudaeis et Graecis et ecclesiae Dei,	32 Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God,
33 sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quaerens, quod mihi utile est, sedquod multis, ut salvi fiant.	33 just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.
