1 Corinthians 3 Clementine Vulgate

1 Et ego, fratres, non potui vobis loqui quasi spiritualibus, sed quasi carnalibus. Tamquam parvulis in Christo,
1 DE manera que yo, hermanos, no pude hablaros como á espirituales, sino como á carnales, como á niños en Cristo.
2 lac vobis potum dedi, non escam: nondum enim poteratis: sed nec nunc quidem potestis: adhuc enim carnales estis.
2 Os dí á beber leche, y no vianda: porque aun no podíais, ni aun podéis ahora;
3 Cum enim sit inter vos zelus, et contentio: nonne carnales estis, et secundum hominem ambulatis?
3 Porque todavía sois carnales: pues habiendo entre vosotros celos, y contiendas, y disensiones, ¿no sois carnales, y andáis como hombres?
4 Cum enim quis dicat: Ego quidem sum Pauli; alius autem: Ego Apollo: nonne homines estis? Quid igitur est Apollo? quid vero Paulus?
4 Porque diciendo el uno: Yo cierto soy de Pablo; y el otro: Yo de Apolos; ¿no sois carnales?
5 ministri ejus, cui credidistis, ut unicuique sicut Dominus dedit.
5 ¿Qué pues es Pablo? ¿y qué es Apolos? Ministros por los cuales habéis creído; y [eso] según que á cada uno ha concedido el Señor.
6 Ego plantavi, Apollo rigavit: sed Deus incrementum dedit.
6 Yo planté, Apolos regó: mas Dios ha dado el crecimiento.
7 Itaque neque qui plantat est aliquid, neque qui rigat: sed qui incrementum dat, Deus.
7 Así que, ni el que planta es algo, ni el que riega; sino Dios, que da el crecimiento.
8 Qui autem plantat, et qui rigat, unum sunt. Unusquisque autem propriam mercedem accipiet, secundum suum laborem.
8 Y el que planta y el que riega son una misma cosa; aunque cada uno recibirá su recompensa conforme á su labor.
9 Dei enim sumus adjutores: Dei agricultura estis, Dei ædificatio estis.
9 Porque nosotros, coadjutores somos de Dios; y vosotros labranza de Dios sois, edificio de Dios sois.
10 Secundum gratiam Dei, quæ data est mihi, ut sapiens architectus fundamentum posui: alius autem superædificat. Unusquisque autem videat quomodo superædificet.
10 Conforme á la gracia de Dios que me ha sido dada, yo como perito arquitecto puse el fundamento, y otro edifica encima: empero cada uno vea cómo sobreedifica.
11 Fundamentum enim aliud nemo potest ponere præter id quod positum est, quod est Christus Jesus.
11 Porque nadie puede poner otro fundamento que el que está puesto, el cual es Jesucristo.
12 Si quis autem superædificat super fundamentum hoc, aurum, argentum, lapides pretiosos, ligna, fœnum, stipulam,
12 Y si alguno edificare sobre este fundamento oro, plata, piedras preciosas, madera, heno, hojarasca;
13 uniuscujusque opus manifestum erit: dies enim Domini declarabit, quia in igne revelabitur: et uniuscujusque opus quale sit, ignis probabit.
13 La obra de cada uno será manifestada: porque el día la declarará; porque por el fuego será manifestada; y la obra de cada uno cuál sea, el fuego hará la prueba.
14 Si cujus opus manserit quod superædificavit, mercedem accipiet.
14 Si permaneciere la obra de alguno que sobreedificó, recibirá recompensa.
15 Si cujus opus arserit, detrimentum patietur: ipse autem salvus erit, sic tamen quasi per ignem.
15 Si la obra de alguno fuere quemada, será perdida: él empero será salvo, mas así como por fuego.
16 Nescitis quia templum Dei estis, et Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis?
16 ¿No sabéis que sois templo de Dios, y que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros?
17 Si quis autem templum Dei violaverit, disperdet illum Deus. Templum enim Dei sanctum est, quod estis vos.
17 Si alguno violare el templo de Dios, Dios destruirá al tal: porque el templo de Dios, el cual sois vosotros, santo es.
18 Nemo se seducat: si quis videtur inter vos sapiens esse in hoc sæculo, stultus fiat ut sit sapiens.
18 Nadie se engañe á sí mismo: si alguno entre vosotros parece ser sabio en este siglo, hágase simple, para ser sabio.
19 Sapientia enim hujus mundi, stultitia est apud Deum. Scriptum est enim: Comprehendam sapientes in astutia eorum.
19 Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es necedad para con Dios; pues escrito está: El que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos.
20 Et iterum: Dominus novit cogitationes sapientium quoniam vanæ sunt.
20 Y otra vez: El Señor conoce los pensamientos de los sabios, que son vanos.
21 Nemo itaque glorietur in hominibus.
21 Así que, ninguno se gloríe en los hombres; porque todo es vuestro;
22 Omnia enim vestra sunt, sive Paulus, sive Apollo, sive Cephas, sive mundus, sive vita, sive mors, sive præsentia, sive futura: omnia enim vestra sunt:
22 Sea Pablo, sea Apolos, sea Cefas, sea el mundo, sea la vida, sea la muerte, sea lo presente, sea los por venir; todo es vuestro;
23 vos autem Christi: Christus autem Dei.
23 Y vosotros de Cristo; y Cristo de Dios.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After having overturned the philosophy which is from without, and cast down all its arrogance, he comes unto another argument. For it was likely that they would say, "If we were putting forth the opinions of Plato, or of Pythagoras, or any other of the philosophers, reason were thou shouldest draw out such a long discourse against us.

"For every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire;" and "whosoever shall defile the temple of God, him shall God defile."
For where was that charity building upon the "foundation" of humility, "which is Jesus Christ"? Or, when would these books teach me it?

Which Paul showing also in other ways, said, "So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." From what we have already, then, He urges us in this way: and from examples of other things, by saying, "Behold the fowls of the air." Thus, lest any should say, "we do …

As then it is His part to plant and to water, so it is thine to bear fruit: it is God's to grant grace, but thine to receive and guard it.
