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?
[Now another matter]: When any of you [believers] accuses another believer about some matter, he takes that matter to judges who are not believers, [for them to decide the case], instead of asking God’s people [to decide it]. (That is disgusting!/Why do you do that?) [RHQ]
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?
[I want] you to know that [we who are] God’s people will [some day] judge those who are unbelievers. [RHQ] So, since you will be judging unbelievers, you certainly are capable of judging between [believers who disagree on] small matters! [RHQ]
3 Vide I ikke, at vi skulle dømme Engle? end sige da i timelige Ting!
(You should keep in mind that we will even judge angels!/Do you not know that we will even judge angels?) [RHQ] So we certainly should be able to judge about [matters that relate to how we] conduct our lives here on earth!
4 Naar I da have Sager om timelige Ting, sætte I da dem til Dommere, som ere agtede for intet i Menigheden?
Therefore, when you [believers] have a dispute, you should certainly not choose as judges [to decide your case] people whom the congregation cannot respect [because those judges are not believers]! [RHQ]
5 Til Skam for eder siger jeg det: Er der da slet ingen viis iblandt eder, som kan dømme sine Brødre imellem?
I am saying this to make you ashamed. Surely there is someone among you who is wise enough to judge disputes between believers! [RHQ]
6 Men Broder fører Sag imod Broder, og det for vantro!
But instead, some believers [among you] accuse other believers in a legal court. And what is worse, you let the cases be judged by unbelievers {unbelievers judge the cases}!
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?
The fact that you have any lawsuits among you [shows that] you have completely failed [as Christians] (OR, [allowed Satan to] defeat you). You should [allow other believers] to wrong you [without taking them to court!]! [RHQ] You should not accuse them when [they] cheat you! [RHQ]
8 Men I gøre Uret og plyndre, og det Brødre!
But [what is happening is that] some of you are cheating others and doing wrong to them. [That is bad]. But you are doing that to fellow believers, [and that is worse]!
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,
(You should keep in mind that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule./Do you not know that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule?) [RHQ] Do not be deceived {Do not deceive yourselves} [by thinking wrongly about these matters]. People who are sexually immoral, or who worship idols, or who (commit adultery/have sex with someone to whom they are not married), or who happily allow others to commit homosexual acts with them, or who take the initiative in committing homosexual acts,
10 eller Tyve eller havesyge eller Drankere, ingen Skændegæster, ingen Røvere skulle arve Guds Rige.
or who are thieves, or who desire and forcefully seize things that belong to others, or who are drunkards, or who slander others, or who are swindlers, will not enter the place where God rules.
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.
Some of you previously did things like that. But [God] has freed/cleansed you [MET] [from your sinful behavior]. [He] has set you apart for himself. [He] has erased the record of your sins [because you trusted] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus Christ and because of what the Spirit of our God [has done for you].
12 Alt er mig tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er mig tilladt, men jeg skal ikke lade mig beherske af noget.
[Some of you may say], “God allows us to do anything [that he does not forbid].” But [I would reply], “[That is true], but not everything that God permits us to do helps us.” [Yes, as some of you say], God permits us to do anything [that he does not forbid]. But as for me, I will not let anything make me [its slave; that is, I will not do anything that will gain control over me in such a way that I will not be able to stop doing it].
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;
[Some of you may also say], “Food is just for [us to put in] the stomach, and the stomach is just for [us to put] food [in]. And since God will do away with food and stomachs [when he gives us our new bodies, what we do with our bodies sexually does not affect us any more than eating food does.” But what you have concluded is wrong, because] the Lord does not [want us to use] our bodies to do sexually immoral things. Instead, the Lord [wants us to use our bodies in ways that please him]. Also, the Lord [wants us to do what is good] for our bodies.
14 og Gud har baade oprejst Herren og skal oprejse os ved sin Kraft.
God, by his power, caused the Lord [Jesus] to live again after he died, and he will cause us to live again after we die, [which shows that he is very concerned about our bodies].
15 Vide I ikke, at eders Legemer ere Kristi Lemmer? Skal jeg da tage Kristi Lemmer og gøre Skøgelemmer deraf? Det være langtfra!
You should keep in mind that your bodies belong to Christ. [RHQ] So, should I [or any other believer] [RHQ] take our body, which belongs to Christ, and join it [sexually] to a prostitute? No, certainly not!
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.‟
When a man has sexual relations [EUP] with a prostitute, [it is as though] their two bodies become one body. (You should never forget that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ] What [Moses] wrote [about people who join together sexually is], “The two of them will become [as though they are] one body.”
17 Men den, som holder sig til Herren, er een Aand med ham.
But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
18 Flyr Utugt! Enhver Synd, som et Menneske ellers gør, er uden for Legemet; men den, som bedriver Utugt, synder imod sit eget Legeme.
Always (run away from/avoid) committing sexually immoral acts. Other sins that people commit do not affect their bodies, but those who commit sexually immoral acts sin against their own bodies.
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?
(Keep in mind that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit./Do you not know that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit?) [RHQ] The Spirit, whom God gave you, lives within you. You do not belong to yourselves. You belong to God,
20 Thi I bleve købte dyrt; ærer derfor Gud i eders Legeme!
[because when his Son died for you it was as though] [MET] [God] paid a price for you. So honor God by [how you use] your bodies!
