The First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians

  Chapter 3  

3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.

3:1 et ego fratres non potui vobis loqui quasi spiritalibus sed quasi carnalibus tamquam parvulis in Christo

3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.

3:2 lac vobis potum dedi non escam nondum enim poteratis sed ne nunc quidem potestis adhuc enim estis carnales

3:3 For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man ?

3:3 cum enim sit inter vos zelus et contentio nonne carnales estis et secundum hominem ambulatis

3:4 For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men ? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?

3:4 cum enim quis dicit ego quidem sum Pauli alius autem ego Apollo nonne homines estis quid igitur est Apollo quid vero Paulus

3:5 The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.

3:5 ministri eius cui credidistis et unicuique sicut Dominus dedit

3:6 I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.

3:6 ego plantavi Apollo rigavit sed Deus incrementum dedit

3:7 Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

3:7 itaque neque qui plantat est aliquid neque qui rigat sed qui incrementum dat Deus

3:8 Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

3:8 qui plantat autem et qui rigat unum sunt unusquisque autem propriam mercedem accipiet secundum suum laborem

3:9 For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building.

3:9 Dei enim sumus adiutores Dei agricultura estis Dei aedificatio estis

3:10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

3:10 secundum gratiam Dei quae data est mihi ut sapiens architectus fundamentum posui alius autem superaedificat unusquisque autem videat quomodo superaedificet

3:11 For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.

3:11 fundamentum enim aliud nemo potest ponere praeter id quod positum est qui est Christus Iesus

3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:

3:12 si quis autem superaedificat supra fundamentum hoc aurum argentum lapides pretiosos ligna faenum stipulam

3:13 Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is.

3:13 uniuscuiusque opus manifestum erit dies enim declarabit quia in igne revelabitur et uniuscuiusque opus quale sit ignis probabit

3:14 If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

3:14 si cuius opus manserit quod superaedificavit mercedem accipiet

3:15 If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

3:15 si cuius opus arserit detrimentum patietur ipse autem salvus erit sic tamen quasi per ignem

3:16 Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ?

3:16 nescitis quia templum Dei estis et Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis

3:17 But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

3:17 si quis autem templum Dei violaverit disperdet illum Deus templum enim Dei sanctum est quod estis vos

3:18 Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

3:18 nemo se seducat si quis videtur inter vos sapiens esse in hoc saeculo stultus fiat ut sit sapiens

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

3:19 sapientia enim huius mundi stultitia est apud Deum scriptum est enim conprehendam sapientes in astutia eorum

3:20 And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

3:20 et iterum Dominus novit cogitationes sapientium quoniam vanae sunt

3:21 Let no man therefore glory in men.

3:21 itaque nemo glorietur in hominibus omnia enim vestra sunt

3:22 For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours;

3:22 sive Paulus sive Apollo sive Cephas sive mundus sive vita sive mors sive praesentia sive futura omnia enim vestra sunt

3:23 And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

3:23 vos autem Christi Christus autem Dei
