1 Korinterne 1

1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth,

2 til Guds Menighed, som er i Korinth, helligede i Kristus Jesus, hellige ifølge Kald tillige med alle dem, der paa ethvert Sted paakalde vor Herres Jesu Kristi, deres og vor Herres Navn:

even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours;

3 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!

grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Naade, som blev given eder i Kristus Jesus,

I always give thanks unto my God, on your account, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; that ye are enriched by Him with every gift,

5 at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,

in all utterance and knowledge;

6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,

(even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you; )

7 saa at I ikke staa tilbage i nogen Naadegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,

so that ye are deficient in no gift, expecting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 han, som ogsaa skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag.

who will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

9 Trofast er Gud, ved hvem I bleve kaldede til Samfund med hans Søn, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre.

for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre! ved vor Herres Jesu Kristi Navn, at I alle skulle føre samme Tale, og at der ikke maa findes Splittelser iblandt eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement.

11 Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Kloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you.

12 Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.

I mean, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

13 Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius:

15 for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.

so that no one can say I baptized in my own name.

16 Dog, jeg døbte ogsaa Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.

I also baptized indeed the family of Stephanas: but I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 Thi Kristus sendte mig ikke for at døbe, men for at forkynde Evangeliet, ikke med vise Ord, for at Kristi Kors ikke skulde tabe sin Kraft.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in fine speech, least the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Daarskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.

For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.

19 Thi der er skrevet: „Jeg vil lægge de vises Visdom øde, og de forstandiges Forstand vil jeg gøre til intet.‟

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

20 Hvor er der en viis? hvor er der en skriftklog? hvor er der en Ordkæmper af denne Verden? har Gud ikke gjort Verdens Visdom til Daarskab? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Daarskab at frelse dem, som tro,

For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe.

22 eftersom baade Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,

And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified;

23 vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Daarskab,

to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called,

24 men for selve de kaldede baade Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.

both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Thi Guds Daarskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.

Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Thi ser, Brødre! paa eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;

For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

27 men det, som var Daarskab for Verden, udvalgte Gud for at beskæmme de vise, og det, som var svagt for Verden, udvalgte Gud for at beskæmme det stærke;

but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;

28 og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,

and things in the opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things that are in esteem among men;

29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.

that no flesh may glory in his presence.

30 Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, baade Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;

But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 for at, som der er skrevet: „Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!‟

that, as it is written, He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.
