Ad Corinthios I 1

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Paulus vocatus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater,	1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
2 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.	2 To 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.
3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.	3 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Jesu :	4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
5 quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia.	5 That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis :	6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, exspectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi,	7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Jesu Christi.	8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Fidelis Deus : per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri.	9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 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.	10 Now 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.
11 Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloës, quia contentiones sunt inter vos.	11 For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit : Ego quidem sum Pauli : ego autem Apollo : ego vero Cephæ : ego autem Christi.	12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Divisus est Christus ? numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis ? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis ?	13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum et Caium :	14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.	15 Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
16 Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum : ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.	16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare : non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi.	17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18 Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est : iis autem qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.	18 For 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.
19 Scriptum est enim : Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.	19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
20 Ubi sapiens ? ubi scriba ? ubi conquisitor hujus sæculi ? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam hujus mundi ?	20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum : placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes.	21 For 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.
22 Quoniam et Judæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt :	22 For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum : Judæis quidem scandalum, gentibus autem stultitiam,	23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
24 ipsis autem vocatis Judæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientiam :	24 But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus : et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.	25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 Videte enim vocationem vestram, fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles :	26 For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
27 sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes : et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia :	27 But 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.
28 et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret :	28 And 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:
29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu ejus.	29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.
30 Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et justitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio :	30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est : Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.	31 That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
