The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
7 quis enim te discernit quid autem habes quod non accepisti si autem accepisti quid gloriaris quasi non acceperis
7
For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
8 iam saturati estis iam divites facti estis sine nobis regnastis et utinam regnaretis ut et nos vobiscum regnaremus
8
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you!
9 puto enim Deus nos apostolos novissimos ostendit tamquam morti destinatos quia spectaculum facti sumus mundo et angelis et hominibus
9
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.
10 nos stulti propter Christum vos autem prudentes in Christo nos infirmi vos autem fortes vos nobiles nos autem ignobiles
10
We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
11 usque in hanc horam et esurimus et sitimus et nudi sumus et colaphis caedimur et instabiles sumus
11
To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 et laboramus operantes manibus nostris maledicimur et benedicimus persecutionem patimur et sustinemus
12
We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 blasphemamur et obsecramus tamquam purgamenta huius mundi facti sumus omnium peripsima usque adhuc
13
when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.
14 non ut confundam vos haec scribo sed ut filios meos carissimos moneo
14
I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children.
15 nam si decem milia pedagogorum habeatis in Christo sed non multos patres nam in Christo Iesu per evangelium ego vos genui
15
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
16 rogo ergo vos imitatores mei estote
16
Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
17 ideo misi ad vos Timotheum qui est filius meus carissimus et fidelis in Domino qui vos commonefaciat vias meas quae sunt in Christo sicut ubique in omni ecclesia doceo
17
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
