Comparison
1 Corinthians 4
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God. | Sic nos existimet homo ut ministros Christi, et dispensatores mysteriorum Dei. |
| 2 | Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful. | Hic iam quaeritur inter dispensatores ut fidelis quis inveniatur. |
| 3 | But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man’s day; but neither do I judge my own self. | Mihi autem pro minimo est ut a vobis iudicer, aut ab humano die: sed neque meipsum iudico. |
| 4 | For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord. | Nihil enim mihi conscius sum, sed non in hoc iustificatus sum: qui autem iudicat me, Dominus est. |
| 5 | Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God. | Itaque nolite ante tempus iudicare, quoadusque veniat Dominus: qui et illuminabit abscondita tenebrarum, et manifestabit consilia cordium: et tunc laus erit unicuique a Deo. |
| 6 | But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written. | Haec autem, fratres, transfiguravi in me et Apollo, propter vos: ut in nobis discatis, ne supra quam scriptum est, unus adversus alterum infletur pro alio. |
| 7 | For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? | Quis enim te discernit? quid autem habes quod non accepisti? si autem accepisti, quid gloriaris quasi non acceperis? |
| 8 | You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you. | Iam saturati estis, iam divites facti estis: sine nobis regnatis: et utinam regnetis, ut et nos vobiscum regnemus. |
| 9 | For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. | Puto enim quod Deus nos Apostolos novissimos ostendit, tamquam morti destinatos: quia spectaculum facti sumus mundo, et angelis, et hominibus. |
| 10 | We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour. | Nos stulti propter Christum, vos autem prudentes in Christo: nos infirmi, vos autem fortes: vos nobiles, nos autem ignobiles. |
| 11 | Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode; | Usque in hanc horam et esurimus, et sitimus, et nudi sumus, et colaphis caedimur, et instabiles sumus, |
| 12 | And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it. | et laboramus operantes manibus nostris: maledicimur, et benedicimus: persecutionem patimur, et sustinemus: |
| 13 | We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now. | blasphemamur, et obsecramus: tamquam purgamenta huius mundi facti sumus, omnium peripsema usque adhuc. |
| 14 | I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children. | Non ut confundam vos, haec scribo, sed ut filios meos carissimos moneo. |
| 15 | For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. | Nam si decem millia paedagogorum habeatis in Christo, sed non multos patres. Nam in Christo Iesu per Evangelium ego vos genui. |
| 16 | Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. | Rogo ergo vos, imitatores mei estote, sicut et ego Christi. |
| 17 | For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus; as I teach every where in every church. | Ideo misi ad vos Timotheum, qui est filius meus carissimus, et fidelis in Domino: qui vos commonefaciet vias meas, quae sunt in Christo Iesu, sicut ubique in omni ecclesia doceo. |
| 18 | As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up. | Tamquam non venturus sim ad vos, sic inflati sunt quidam. |
| 19 | But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power. | Veniam autem ad vos cito, si Dominus voluerit: et cognoscam non sermonem eorum qui inflati sunt, sed virtutem. |
| 20 | For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power. | Non enim in sermone est regnum Dei, sed in virtute. |
| 21 | What will you? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the spirit of meekness? | Quid vultis? in virga veniam ad vos, an in caritate, et spiritu mansuetudinis? |
