The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 notum autem vobis facio fratres evangelium quod praedicavi vobis quod et accepistis in quo et statis
1
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
2 per quod et salvamini qua ratione praedicaverim vobis si tenetis nisi si frustra credidistis
2
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi quoniam Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum scripturas
3
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 et quia sepultus est et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas
4
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 et quia visus est Cephae et post haec undecim
5
and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.
6 deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc quidam autem dormierunt
6
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
7 deinde visus est Iacobo deinde apostolis omnibus
7
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo visus est et mihi
8
and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9 ego enim sum minimus apostolorum qui non sum dignus vocari apostolus quoniam persecutus sum ecclesiam Dei
9
For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 gratia autem Dei sum id quod sum et gratia eius in me vacua non fuit sed abundantius illis omnibus laboravi non ego autem sed gratia Dei mecum
10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
11 sive enim ego sive illi sic praedicamus et sic credidistis
11
Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12 si autem Christus praedicatur quod resurrexit a mortuis quomodo quidam dicunt in vobis quoniam resurrectio mortuorum non est
12
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est neque Christus resurrexit
13
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 si autem Christus non resurrexit inanis est ergo praedicatio nostra inanis est et fides vestra
14
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
15 invenimur autem et falsi testes Dei quoniam testimonium diximus adversus Deum quod suscitaverit Christum quem non suscitavit si mortui non resurgunt
15
More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 nam si mortui non resurgunt neque Christus resurrexit
16
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
17 quod si Christus non resurrexit vana est fides vestra adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris
17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18 ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo perierunt
18
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
19 si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus
19
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiae dormientium
20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 quoniam enim per hominem mors et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum
21
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22 et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur
22
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
23 unusquisque autem in suo ordine primitiae Christus deinde hii qui sunt Christi in adventu eius
23
But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
24 deinde finis cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri cum evacuaverit omnem principatum et potestatem et virtutem
24
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
25 oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus eius
25
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 novissima autem inimica destruetur mors omnia enim subiecit sub pedibus eius cum autem dicat
26
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27 omnia subiecta sunt sine dubio praeter eum qui subiecit ei omnia
27
For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
28 cum autem subiecta fuerint illi omnia tunc ipse Filius subiectus erit illi qui sibi subiecit omnia ut sit Deus omnia in omnibus
28
When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
29 alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis si omnino mortui non resurgunt ut quid et baptizantur pro illis
29
Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
30 ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora
30
And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
31 cotidie morior per vestram gloriam fratres quam habeo in Christo Iesu Domino nostro
31
I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi quid mihi prodest si mortui non resurgunt manducemus et bibamus cras enim moriemur
32
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 nolite seduci corrumpunt mores bonos conloquia mala
33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34 evigilate iuste et nolite peccare ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent ad reverentiam vobis loquor
34
Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
