Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.
1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
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 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
3
For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
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?
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
5
The ministers of him whom you have believed: and to every one as the Lord hath given.
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
6
I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
7
Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.
8
Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
9
For we are God’s coadjutors. You are God’s husbandry: you are God’s building.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.
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.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11
For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus.
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
12
Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.
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.
14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.
14
If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
15
If any mans work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
16
Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
17
But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.
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.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” ;
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.
20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
20
And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours,
21
Let no man therefore glory in men.
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,
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 come. For all are yours.
23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
23
And you are Christ’s. And Christ is God’s.
