1 Corinthians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our brother.
Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes
2 It is sent to the church of God in Corinth, those who are being made right in Christ Jesus, called to live holy lives—and to everyone who worships the Lord Jesus Christ everywhere, the Lord both of them and of us.
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:
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
4 I'm always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus.
Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Nåde, som blev givet eder i Kristus Jesus,
5 Through him you have been made rich in everything, in all that you say and every aspect of what you know.
at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,
6 In fact the testimony of Christ was proved valid in your experience,
ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,
7 so that you're not missing any spiritual gift as you wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
så at I ikke stå tilbage i nogen Nådegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Åbenbarelse,
8 He will also keep you strong to the very end, so you will be kept right until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.
han, som også skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige på vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag,
9 God is trustworthy who called you to share together in fellowship with his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Trofast er Gud, ved hvem I bleve kaldede til Samfund med hans Søn, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre.
10 Brothers and sisters, I plead with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all agree and that you're not divided. Instead develop a united attitude and purpose.
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.
11 For I have been told things about you, my brothers and sisters, by some of Chloe's people—that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Bloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.
12 Let me explain what I mean. You're all making different claims: “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow Christ.”
Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.
13 Is Christ divided? Did Paul die on a cross for you? Was it in the name of Paul that you were baptized?
Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?
14 I'm grateful to God that I didn't baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,
15 so nobody can claim they were baptized in my name.
for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.
16 (Oh, and I also baptized the Stephanas family—I can't think of anyone else.)
Dog, jeg døbte også Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.
17 For Christ didn't send me out to baptize, but to spread the good news, and not with eloquent human wisdom, otherwise the cross of Christ would be made powerless.
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.
18 For the message of the cross is nonsense to those who are lost, but it's the power of God to those of us who are saved.
Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Dårskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.
19 As Scripture says, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will wipe out the cleverness of the clever.”
Thi der er skrevet: "Jeg vil lægge de vises Visdom øde, og de forstandiges Forstand vil jeg gøre til intet."
20 So how about the wise, the writers, and the philosophers of this age? Hasn't God turned the wisdom of this world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)
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)
21 Since God in his wisdom allowed the world in its wisdom not to know God, it was God's gracious plan that by the foolishness of the good news those who trusted in him would be saved.
Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Dårskab at frelse dem, som tro,
22 The Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks look for wisdom,
eftersom både Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,
23 but our message is of Christ killed on a cross—offensive to the Jews, and foolishness to the foreigners.
vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Dårskab,
24 However, for those who are called by God, both Jews and foreigners, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
men for selve de kaldede både Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than we are; and the weakness of God is stronger than we are.
Thi Guds Dårskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.
26 Brothers and sisters, remember your calling—and that this did not include many who are wise, humanly speaking; not many who are powerful; not many who are important.
Thi ser, Brødre! på eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;
27 Instead God chose the things the world considers foolish to humiliate those who think they are wise. He chose the things the world considers weak to humiliate those who think they are strong.
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;
28 He chose the things that are unimportant and despised by the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,
29 so that nobody should boast in God's presence.
for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.
30 It's because of him that you live in Christ Jesus, who God made to be wisdom for us. He sets us right, keeps us right, and frees us.
Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, både Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;
31 So as Scripture says, “Whoever wants to boast, let them boast in the Lord.”
for at, som der er skrevet: "Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!"
