1 Korinterne 3
1 Og jeg, Brødre! kunde ikke tale til eder som til aandelige, men som til kødelige, som til spæde Børn i Kristus.
And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings--mere babes in Christ.
2 Mælk gav jeg eder at drikke, ikke fast Føde; thi I kunde endnu ikke taale det, ja, I kunne det ikke engang nu;
I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:
3 thi endnu ere I kødelige. Naar der nemlig er Nid og Splid iblandt eder, ere I da ikke kødelige og vandre paa Menneskers Vis?
you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?
4 Thi naar en siger: „Jeg hører Paulus til, ‟ og en anden: „Jeg hører Apollos til, ‟ ere I saa ikke „Mennesker‟?
For when some one says, "I belong to Paul," and another says, "I belong to Apollos," is not this the way men of the world speak?
5 Hvad er da Apollos? og hvad er Paulus? Tjenere, ved hvilke I bleve troende og det, efter som Herren gav enhver.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.
6 Jeg plantede, Apollos vandede, men Gud gav Vækst.
I planted and Apollos watered; but it was God who was, all the time, giving the increase.
7 Saa er da hverken den noget, som planter, ikke heller den, som vander, men Gud, som giver Vækst.
So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.
8 Den, som planter, og den, som vander, ere eet; men hver skal faa sin egen Løn efter sit eget Arbejde.
Now in aim and purpose the planter and the waterer are one; and yet each will receive his own special reward, answering to his own special work.
9 Thi Guds Medarbejdere ere vi; Guds Ager, Guds Bygning ere I.
Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are God's field-- God's building.
10 Efter den Guds Naade, som blev given mig, har jeg som en viis Bygmester lagt Grundvold, men en anden bygger derpaa. Men enhver se til, hvorledes han bygger derpaa!
In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I--like a competent master-builder--have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.
11 thi anden Grundvold kan ingen lægge end den, som er lagt, hvilken er Jesus Kristus.
For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.
12 Men dersom nogen paa Grundvolden bygger med Guld, Sølv, kostbare Stene, Træ, Hø, Straa,
And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw--
13 da skal enhvers Arbejde blive aabenbart; thi Dagen skal gøre det klart, efterdi den aabenbares med Ild, og hvordan enhvers Arbejde er, det skal Ilden prøve.
the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work-- the fire is the thing which will test it.
14 Dersom det Arbejde, som en har bygget derpaa, bestaar, da skal han faa Løn;
If any one's work--the building which he has erected--stands the test, he will be rewarded.
15 dersom ens Arbejde bliver opbrændt, da skal han gaa Glip af den; men selv skal han blive frelst, dog som igennem Ild.
If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire.
16 Vide I ikke, at I ere Guds Tempel, og Guds Aand bor i eder?
Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you?
17 Dersom nogen fordærver Guds Tempel, skal Gud fordærve ham; thi Guds Tempel er helligt, og det ere jo I.
If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are.
18 Ingen bedrage sig selv! Dersom nogen tykkes at være viis iblandt eder i denne Verden, han vorde en Daare, for at han kan vorde viis. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become "foolish" so that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Thi denne Verdens Visdom er Daarskab for Gud; thi der er skrevet: „Han er den, som griber de vise i deres Træskhed; ‟
This world's wisdom is "foolishness" in God's sight; for it is written, "He snares the wise with their own cunning."
20 og atter: „Herren kender de vises Tanker, at de ere forfængelige.‟
And again, "The Lord takes knowledge of the reasonings of the wise--how useless they are."
21 Derfor rose ingen sig af Mennesker! Alle Ting ere jo eders,
Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.
22 være sig Paulus eller Apollos eller Kefas eller Verden eller Liv eller Død eller det nærværende eller det tilkommende: alle Ting ere eders;
For everything belongs to you--be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future--everything belongs to you;
23 men I ere Kristi, og Kristus er Guds.
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
