1 Korinterne 1

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

Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

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

to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;

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

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

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

I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus;

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

that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge,

6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,

as the testimony of Christ was established among you;

7 så at I ikke stå tilbage i nogen Nådegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Åbenbarelse,

so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 han, som også skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige på vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag,

who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame 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.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship 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 må findes Splittelser iblandt eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.

But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

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

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you.

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

What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and 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 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, but Crispus and Gaius;

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

that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name.

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

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides.

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 with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

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

For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being 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 nought the discernment of the discerning.”

20 Hvor er der en viis? hvor er der en skriftklog? hvor er der en Ordkæmper al denne verden? har Gud ikke gjort Verdens Visdom til Dårskab? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

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

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

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

since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

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

but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to gentiles foolishness,

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

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

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

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

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

For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

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

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;

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 the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.

that no flesh might glory before God.

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

But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;

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

that, according as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
