1 Corinthians 9

1 Surely I am free? Surely I am an apostle Surely Jesus (Christ *K*) the Lord of us have I seen? Surely the work of mine you yourselves are in [the] Lord?

Er jeg ikke fri? er jeg ikke Apostel? har jeg ikke set Jesus, vor Herre? er I ikke min Gerning i Herren?

2 If to others not I am an apostle, yet at least to you I am; the for seal (of my *N(k)O*) apostleship you yourselves are in [the] Lord.

Er jeg ikke Apostel for andre, så er jeg det dog i det mindste for eder; thi Seglet på min Apostelgerning ere I i Herren.

3 My defense to those me myself examining is this:

Dette er mit Forsvar imod dem, som bedømme mig.

4 certainly surely we have [the] right to eat and to drink?

Have vi ikke Ret til at spise og drikke?

5 certainly surely we have authority a sister a wife to take about as also the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

Have vi ikke Ret til at føre en Søster med om som Hustru, som også de andre Apostle og Herrens Brødre og Kefas?

6 Or only I myself and Barnabas not have permission (*k*) not to work?

Eller have alene jeg og Barnabas ingen Ret til at lade være at arbejde?

7 who serves as a soldier at [his] own expense at any time? Who plants a vineyard and (from *k*) (the fruit *N(k)O*) of it not does eat? Or who shepherds a flock and from the milk of the flock not does drink?

Hvem tjener vel nogen Sinde i Krig på egen Sold? Hvem planter en Vingård og spiser ikke dens Frugt? Eller hvem vogter en Hjord og nyder ikke af Hjordens Mælk?

8 Not according to man these things do I speak? Or also the law these things (not *N(k)O*) says?

Taler jeg vel dette blot efter menneskelig Vis, eller siger ikke også Loven dette?

9 In for the of Moses law it has been written: Not you will muzzle an ox treading out grain. Surely not for the oxen is there care with God?

Thi i Mose Lov er der skrevet: "Du må ikke binde Munden til på en Okse, som tærsker." Er det Okserne, Gud bekymrer sig om,

10 Or because of us entirely is He speaking? For sake of us for it was written because ought in hope the [one] plowing to plow, and the [one] threshing (of the hope of him *K*) in hope ([that he] *no*) is to partake.

eller siger han det ikke i hvert Tilfælde for vor Skyld? For vor Skyld blev det jo skrevet, fordi den, som pløjer, bør pløje i Håb, og den, som tærsker, bør gøre det i Håb om at få sin Del.

11 If we ourselves among you spiritual things sowed, [is it] a great thing if we ourselves from you material things will reap?

Når vi have sået eder de åndelige Ting, er det da noget stort, om vi høste eders timelige?

12 If others of the over you authority partake, surely more we ourselves? But not we did use right this, Instead all things we bear so that not any hindrance we may place to the gospel of Christ.

Dersom andre nyde sådan Ret over eder, kunde da vi ikke snarere? Dog have vi ikke brugt denne Ret; men vi tåle alt, for at vi ikke skulle lægge noget i Vejen for Kristi Evangelium.

13 Surely you know that those in the sacred [things] working (the [things] *no*) of the temple eat? those at the altar attending at the altar partake?

Vide I ikke, at de, som udføre de hellige Tjenester, få deres Føde fra Helligdommen, de, som tjene ved Alteret, dele med Alteret?

14 So also the Lord has prescribed to those the gospel proclaiming from the gospel to live.

Således har også Herren forordnet for dem, som forkynde Evangeliet, at de skulle leve af Evangeliet.

15 I myself however (not *no*) (have used *N(k)O*) not any of these; Neither have I written now these things that thus it may become with me myself; good for me rather to die than the boasting of mine (so that *K*) (no [one] will make void. *N(k)O*)

Jeg derimod har ikke gjort Brug af noget af dette. Jeg skriver dog ikke dette, for at det skal ske således med mig; thi jeg vil hellere dø, end at nogen skulde gøre min Ros til intet.

16 If for I shall evangelise, nothing there is to me boasting; necessity for me is laid upon; Woe (however *N(k)O*) to me be if not (I shall evangelise. *N(k)O*)

Thi om jeg forkynder Evangeliet, har jeg ikke noget at rose mig af; der påligger mig nemlig en Nødvendighed, thi ve mig, om jeg ikke forkynder det!

17 If for willingly this I do, a reward I have; if however unwillingly, a stewardship I have been entrusted with.

Gør jeg nemlig dette af fri Villie, så får jeg Løn; men har jeg imod min Villie fået en Husholdning betroet,

18 What then (of me *N(k)O*) is the reward? That in evangelising free of charge I may offer the gospel (of the Christ *K*) so as not to use up the right of me in the gospel.

hvad er da min Løn? For at jeg, når jeg forkynder Evangeliet, skal fremsætte det for intet, så at jeg ikke gør Brug af min Ret i Evangeliet.

19 Free for being from all to all myself I became servant so that the more I may gain;

Thi skønt jeg er fri over for alle, har jeg dog gjort mig selv til Tjener for alle, for at jeg kunde vinde des flere.

20 And I became to the Jews like a Jew so that Jews I may win; To those under [the] Law as under [the] law (not being myself *NO*) under [the] law so that those under [the] law I may win;

Og jeg er bleven Jøderne som en Jøde, for at jeg kunde vinde Jøder; dem under Loven som en under Loven, skønt jeg ikke selv er under Loven, for at jeg kunde vinde dem, som ere under Loven;

21 To those outside [the] Law like outside [the] Law — not being outside [the] law (of God *N(k)O*) but under [the] law (of Christ — *N(k)O*) so that I may win (those *no*) outside [the] Law.

dem uden for Loven som en uden for Loven, skønt jeg ikke er uden Lov for God, men under Kristi Lov, for at jeg kunde vinde dem, som ere uden for Loven.

22 I became to the weak (as *K*) weak that the weak I may win; The [things] to all I have become (*k*) all so that by all means some I may save.

Jeg er bleven skrøbelig for de skrøbelige, for at jeg kunde vinde de skrøbelige; jeg er bleven alt for alle, for at jeg i ethvert Fald kunde frelse nogle.

23 (All [things] *N(K)O*) now I do on account of the gospel that a fellow partaker with it I may become.

Men alt gør jeg for Evangeliets Skyld, for at jeg kan blive meddelagtig deri.

24 Surely you know that those in a race course running all indeed run, one however receives the prize? Thus do run that you may grasp [it].

Vide I ikke, at de, som løbe på Banen, løbe vel alle, men ikkun een får Prisen? Således skulle I løbe, for at I kunne vinde den.

25 Everyone now who is striving in all things controls himself; they indeed then that a perishable crown they may receive, we ourselves however an imperishable.

Enhver, som deltager i Kamplegene, er afholdende i alt; hine nu vel for at få en forkrænkelig Krans, men vi en uforkrænkelig.

26 I myself therefore thus run as not uncertainly, so I fight as not [the] air beating;

Jeg løber derfor ikke som på det uvisse jeg fægter som en, der ikke slår i Luften;

27 But I batter my body and bring [it] into servitude, lest perhaps to others having preached myself disqualified I may be.

men jeg bekæmper mit Legeme og holder det i Trældom, for at ikke jeg, som har prædiket for andre, selv skal blive forkastet.
