1 Korinterne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes
Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —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:
Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:
3 Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Nåde, som blev givet eder i Kristus Jesus,
I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —
5 at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,
That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;
6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,
Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
7 så at I ikke stå tilbage i nogen Nådegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Åbenbarelse,
So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation 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 confirm you unto the end, unaccusable 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.
Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been 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, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—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 it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,
12 Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.
Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:
13 Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?
The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
14 Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,
I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,
15 for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.
Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:
16 Dog, jeg døbte også Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.
Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
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 be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.
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 discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.
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, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
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? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? 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, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.
22 eftersom både Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,
Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
23 vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Dårskab,
Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;
24 men for selve de kaldede både Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.
But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
25 Thi Guds Dårskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.
Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
26 Thi ser, Brødre! på eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;
For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:
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;
On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are 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, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;
29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.
So that no flesh should boast 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, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 for at, som der er skrevet: "Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!"
In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
