nolo enim vos ignorare fratres quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt et omnes mare transierunt
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea.
|
| 2 |
et omnes in Mose baptizati sunt in nube et in mari
And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea:
|
| 3 |
et omnes eandem escam spiritalem manducaverunt
And did all eat the same spiritual food:
|
| 4 |
et omnes eundem potum spiritalem biberunt bibebant autem de spiritali consequenti eos petra petra autem erat Christus
And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.)
|
| 5 |
sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo nam prostrati sunt in deserto
But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
|
| 6 |
haec autem in figura facta sunt nostri ut non simus concupiscentes malorum sicut et illi concupierunt
Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted.
|
| 7 |
neque idolorum cultores efficiamini sicut quidam ex ipsis quemadmodum scriptum est sedit populus manducare et bibere et surrexerunt ludere
Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.
|
| 8 |
neque fornicemur sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt et ceciderunt una die viginti tria milia
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them that committed fornication: and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
|
| 9 |
neque temptemus Christum sicut quidam eorum temptaverunt et a serpentibus perierunt
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and perished by the serpent.
|
| 10 |
neque murmuraveritis sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt et perierunt ab exterminatore
Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.
|
| 11 |
haec autem omnia in figura contingebant illis scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram in quos fines saeculorum devenerunt
Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
|
| 12 |
itaque qui se existimat stare videat ne cadat
Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
|
| 13 |
temptatio vos non adprehendat nisi humana fidelis autem Deus qui non patietur vos temptari super id quod potestis sed faciet cum temptatione etiam proventum ut possitis sustinere
Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
|
| 14 |
propter quod carissimi mihi fugite ab idolorum cultura
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
|
| 15 |
ut prudentibus loquor vos iudicate quod dico
I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
|
| 16 |
calicem benedictionis cui benedicimus nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est et panis quem frangimus nonne participatio corporis Domini est
The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
|
| 17 |
quoniam unus panis unum corpus multi sumus omnes quidem de uno pane participamur
For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread.
|
| 18 |
videte Israhel secundum carnem nonne qui edunt hostias participes sunt altaris
Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
|
| 19 |
quid ergo dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid aut quod idolum sit aliquid
What then? Do I say that what is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? Or that the idol is any thing?
|
| 20 |
sed quae immolant gentes daemoniis immolant et non Deo nolo autem vos socios fieri daemoniorum non potestis calicem Domini bibere et calicem daemoniorum
But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
|
| 21 |
non potestis mensae Domini participes esse et mensae daemoniorum
You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils.
|
| 22 |
an aemulamur Dominum numquid fortiores illo sumus omnia licent sed non omnia expediunt
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me: but all things are not expedient.
|
| 23 |
omnia licent sed non omnia aedificant
All things are lawful for me: but all things do not edify.
|
| 24 |
nemo quod suum est quaerat sed quod alterius
Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's.
|
| 25 |
omne quod in macello venit manducate nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience' sake.
|
| 26 |
Domini est terra et plenitudo eius
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.
|
| 27 |
si quis vocat vos infidelium et vultis ire omne quod vobis adponitur manducate nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam
If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.
|
| 28 |
si quis autem dixerit hoc immolaticium est idolis nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit et propter conscientiam
But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake.
|
| 29 |
conscientiam autem dico non tuam sed alterius ut quid enim libertas mea iudicatur ab alia conscientia
Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?
|
| 30 |
si ego cum gratia participo quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago
If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
|
| 31 |
sive ergo manducatis sive bibitis vel aliud quid facitis omnia in gloriam Dei facite
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
|
| 32 |
sine offensione estote Iudaeis et gentilibus et ecclesiae Dei
Be without offence to the Jew, and to the Gentiles and to the church of God:
|
| 33 |
sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo non quaerens quod mihi utile est sed quod multis ut salvi fiant
As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved.
