Comparison
1 Corinthians 13
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. | Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut aes sonans, aut cymbalum tinniens. |
| 2 | And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. | Et si habuero prophetiam, et noverim mysteria omnia, et omnem scientiam: et si habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil sum. |
| 3 | And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. | Et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas, et si tradidero corpus meum ita ut ardeam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest. |
| 4 | Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; | Caritas patiens est, benigna est. Caritas non aemulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur, |
| 5 | Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; | non est ambitiosa, non quaerit quae sua sunt, non irritatur, non cogitat malum, |
| 6 | Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; | non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet autem veritati: |
| 7 | Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet. |
| 8 | Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. | Caritas numquam excidit: sive prophetiae evacuabuntur, sive linguae cessabunt, sive scientia destruetur. |
| 9 | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. | Ex parte enim cognoscimus, et ex parte prophetamus. |
| 10 | But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. | Cum autem venerit quod perfectum est, evacuabitur quod ex parte est. |
| 11 | When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. | Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando autem factus sum vir, evacuavi quae erant parvuli. |
| 12 | We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know I part; but then I shall know even as I am known. | Videmus nunc per speculum in aenigmate: tunc autem facie ad faciem. Nunc cognosco ex parte: tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum. |
| 13 | And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. | Nunc autem manent fides, spes, caritas, tria haec: maior autem horum est caritas. |
