| [1]And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, |
[1]Nolo enim vos ignorare fratres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt, |
| [2]and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea; |
[2]et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari: |
| [3]and all the same spiritual food did eat, |
[3]et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt, |
| [4]and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ; |
[4]et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt (bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra: petra autem erat Christus): |
| [5]but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness, |
[5]sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo: nam prostrati sunt in deserto. |
| [6]and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire. |
[6]Hæc autem in figura facta sunt nostri, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicut et illi concupierunt. |
| [7]Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;' |
[7]Neque idololatræ efficiamini, sicut quidam ex ipsis: quemadmodum scriptum est: Sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere. |
| [8]neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand; |
[8]Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria millia. |
| [9]neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish; |
[9]Neque tentemus Christum, sicut quidam eorum tentaverunt, et a serpentibus perierunt. |
| [10]neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer. |
[10]Neque murmuraveritis, sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt, et perierunt ab exterminatore. |
| [11]And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come, |
[11]Hæc autem omnia in figura contingebant illis: scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quos fines sæculorum devenerunt. |
| [12]so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe, lest he fall. |
[12]Itaque qui se existimat stare, videat ne cadat. |
| [13]No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it]. |
[13]Tentatio vos non apprehendat nisi humana: fidelis autem Deus est, qui non patietur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed faciet etiam cum tentatione proventum ut possitis sustinere. |
| [14]Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry; |
[14]Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura: |
| [15]as to wise men I speak -- judge ye what I say: |
[15]ut prudentibus loquor, vos ipsi judicate quod dico. |
| [16]The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ? |
[16]Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est? et panis quem frangimus, nonne participatio corporis Domini est? |
| [17]because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake. |
[17]Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes qui de uno pane participamus. |
| [18]See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar? |
[18]Videte Israël secundum carnem: nonne qui edunt hostias, participes sunt altaris? |
| [19]what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? -- |
[19]Quid ergo? dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid? aut quod idolum, sit aliquid? |
| [20][no,] but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons. |
[20]Sed quæ immolant gentes, dæmoniis immolant, et non Deo. Nolo autem vos socios fieri dæmoniorum: |
| [21]Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons; |
[21]non potestis calicem Domini bibere, et calicem dæmoniorum; non potestis mensæ Domini participes esse, et mensæ dæmoniorum. |
| [22]do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He? |
[22]An æmulamur Dominum? numquid fortiores illo sumus? Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt. |
| [23]All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up; |
[23]Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia ædificat. |
| [24]let no one seek his own -- but each another's. |
[24]Nemo quod suum est quærat, sed quod alterius. |
| [25]Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience, |
[25]Omne quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam. |
| [26]for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness; |
[26]Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus. |
| [27]and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience; |
[27]Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire: omne quod vobis apponitur, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam. |
| [28]and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord's [is] the earth and its fulness: |
[28]Si quis autem dixerit: Hoc immolatum est idolis: nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam: |
| [29]and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another's conscience? |
[29]conscientiam autem dico non tuam, sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea judicatur ab aliena conscientia? |
| [30]and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks? |
[30]Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago? |
| [31]Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God; |
[31]Sive ergo manducatis, sive bibitis, sive aliud quid facitis: omnia in gloriam Dei facite. |
| [32]become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God; |
[32]Sine offensione estote Judæis, et gentibus, et ecclesiæ Dei: |
| [33]as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved. |
[33]sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quærens quod mihi utile est, sed quod multis: ut salvi fiant. |
