1 Korinterne 16
1 Men hvad Indsamlingen til de hellige angaar, da gører ogsaa I, ligesom jeg forordnede for Menighederne i Galatien!
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do you.
2 Hver første Dag i Ugen lægge enhver af eder hjemme hos sig selv noget til Side og samle, hvad han maatte have Lykke til, for at der ikke først skal ske Indsamlinger, naar jeg kommer.
On the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
3 Men naar jeg kommer, vil jeg sende, hvem I maatte finde skikkede dertil, med Breve for at bringe eders Gave til Jerusalem.
And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem.
4 Men dersom det er værd, at ogsaa jeg rejser med, da kunne de rejse med mig.
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 Men jeg vil komme til eder, naar jeg er dragen igennem Makedonien; thi jeg drager igennem Makedonien;
Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 men hos eder vil jeg maaske blive eller endog overvintre, for at I kunne befordre mig videre, hvor jeg saa rejser hen.
And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
7 Thi nu vil jeg ikke se eder paa Gennemrejse; jeg haaber nemlig at forblive nogen Tid hos eder, om Herren vil tilstede det.
For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 Men i Efesus vil jeg forblive indtil Pinsen;
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 thi en Dør staar mig aaben, stor og virksom, og der er mange Modstandere.
For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Men om Timotheus kommer, da ser til, at han kan færdes hos eder uden Frygt; thi han gør Herrens Gerning, saavel som jeg.
Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Derfor maa ingen ringeagte ham; befordrer ham videre i Fred, for at han kan komme til mig; thi jeg venter ham med Brødrene.
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brothers.
12 Men hvad Broderen Apollos angaar, da har jeg meget opfordret ham til at komme til eder med Brødrene; men det var i hvert Fald ikke hans Villie at komme nu, men han vil komme, naar han faar belejlig Tid.
As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 Vaager, staar faste i Troen, værer mandige, værer stærke!
Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Alt ske hos eder i Kærlighed!
Let all your things be done with charity.
15 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre — I kende Stefanas's Hus, at det er Akajas Førstegrøde, og de have hengivet sig selv til at tjene de hellige —
I beseech you, brothers, (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints, )
16 til at ogsaa I skulle underordne eder under saadanne og enhver, som arbejder med og har Besvær.
That you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helps with us, and labors.
17 Men jeg glæder mig ved Stefanas's og Fortunatus's og Akaikus's Nærværelse, fordi disse have udfyldt Savnet af eder;
I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 thi de have vederkvæget min Aand og eders. Skønner derfor paa saadanne!
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge you them that are such.
19 Menighederne i Asien hilse eder. Akvila og Priska hilse eder meget i Herren tillige med Menigheden i deres Hus.
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20 Alle Brødrene hilse eder. Hilser hverandre med et helligt Kys!
All the brothers greet you. Greet you one another with an holy kiss.
21 Hilsenen med min, Paulus's egen Haand.
The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.
22 Dersom nogen ikke elsker Herren, han være en Forbandelse! Maran Atha.
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 Den Herres Jesu Naade være med eder!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 Min Kærlighed med eder alle i Kristus Jesus!
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
