1 Korinterne 6
1 Kan nogen af eder, naar han har Sag med en anden, føre det over sit Sind at søge Dom hos de uretfærdige, og ikke hos de hellige?
If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
2 Eller vide I ikke, at de hellige skulle dømme Verden? og naar Verden dømmes ved eder, ere I da uværdige til at sidde til Doms i de ringeste Sager?
Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
3 Vide I ikke, at vi skulle dømme Engle? end sige da i timelige Ting!
Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
4 Naar I da have Sager om timelige Ting, sætte I da dem til Dommere, som ere agtede for intet i Menigheden?
If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
5 Til Skam for eder siger jeg det: Er der da slet ingen viis iblandt eder, som kan dømme sine Brødre imellem?
I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
6 Men Broder fører Sag imod Broder, og det for vantro!
but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Overhovedet er jo allerede det en Fejl hos eder, at I have Retssager med hverandre. Hvorfor lide I ikke hellere Uret? hvorfor lade I eder ikke hellere plyndre?
To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
8 Men I gøre Uret og plyndre, og det Brødre!
On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
9 Eller vide I ikke, at uretfærdige skulle ikke arve Guds Rige? Farer ikke vild! Hverken utugtige eller Afgudsdyrkere eller Horkarle eller de, som lade sig bruge til unaturlig Utugt, eller de, som øve den,
Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
10 eller Tyve eller havesyge eller Drankere, ingen Skændegæster, ingen Røvere skulle arve Guds Rige.
nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
11 Og saadanne vare I for en Del; men I lode eder aftvætte, ja, I bleve helligede, ja, I bleve retfærdiggjorte ved den Herres Jesu Navn og ved vor Guds Aand.
And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
12 Alt er mig tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er mig tilladt, men jeg skal ikke lade mig beherske af noget.
Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
13 Maden er for Bugen og Bugen for Maden; men Gud skal tilintetgøre baade denne og hin. Legemet derimod er ikke for Utugt, men for Herren, og Herren for Legemet;
Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
14 og Gud har baade oprejst Herren og skal oprejse os ved sin Kraft.
and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
15 Vide I ikke, at eders Legemer ere Kristi Lemmer? Skal jeg da tage Kristi Lemmer og gøre Skøgelemmer deraf? Det være langtfra!
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
16 Eller vide I ikke, at den, som holder sig til Skøgen, er eet Legeme med hende? „Thi de to, ‟ hedder det, „skulle blive til eet Kød.‟
Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
17 Men den, som holder sig til Herren, er een Aand med ham.
But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
18 Flyr Utugt! Enhver Synd, som et Menneske ellers gør, er uden for Legemet; men den, som bedriver Utugt, synder imod sit eget Legeme.
Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
19 Eller vide I ikke, at eders Legeme er et Tempel for den Helligaand, som er i eder, hvilken I have fra Gud, og at I ikke ere eders egne?
Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
20 Thi I bleve købte dyrt; ærer derfor Gud i eders Legeme!
And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
