< 1 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Naade, som blev given eder i Kristus Jesus,
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
saa at I ikke staa tilbage i nogen Naadegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
han, som ogsaa skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Trofast er Gud, ved hvem I bleve kaldede til Samfund med hans Søn, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.
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.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Kloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "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? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
Dog, jeg døbte ogsaa Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.
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 about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Daarskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Thi der er skrevet: „Jeg vil lægge de vises Visdom øde, og de forstandiges Forstand vil jeg gøre til intet.‟
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn )
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 )
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Daarskab at frelse dem, som tro,
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
eftersom baade Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Daarskab,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
men for selve de kaldede baade Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Thi Guds Daarskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
Thi ser, Brødre! paa eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;
27 But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
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;
28 And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,
og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, baade Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
for at, som der er skrevet: „Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!‟
