1 Korintierne 6
1 Våger nogen av eder, når han har sak mot sin næste, da å søke dom hos de urettferdige og ikke hos de hellige?
Can it be that, when one of you has a dispute with another, they dare to have their case tried before the heathen, instead of before Christ’s people?
2 Eller vet I ikke at de hellige skal dømme verden? og dersom verden blir dømt ved eder, er I da uverdige til å dømme i de ringeste saker?
Don’t you know that Christ’s people will try the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try the most trivial cases?
3 Vet I ikke at vi skal dømme engler? hvor meget mere da i timelige ting!
Don’t you know that we are to try angels – to say nothing of the affairs of this life?
4 Når I da har saker om timelige ting, så setter I dem til dommere som ikke aktes for noget i menigheten!
Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them those who carry no weight with the church? To your shame I ask it.
5 Til skam for eder sier jeg det. Så finnes det da ikke nogen vis mann iblandt eder, ikke en eneste én, som kan skille tretten for sin bror?
Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to decide between two of their fellow followers?
6 men bror fører sak mot bror, og det for vantros domstol!
Must a follower sue a fellow follower? In front of unbelievers?
7 Det er jo i det hele allerede et tap for eder at I har saker mot hverandre. Hvorfor lider I ikke heller urett? hvorfor tåler I ikke heller skade?
To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8 Men I gjør urett og skade, og det mot brødre!
Instead of this, you wrong and cheat others yourselves – yes, even other followers!
9 Eller vet I ikke at de som gjør urett, ikke skal arve Guds rike? Far ikke vill! Hverken horkarler eller avgudsdyrkere eller ekteskapsbrytere eller bløtaktige eller de som synder mot naturen,
Don’t you know that wrongdoers will have no share in God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived. No one who is immoral, or an idolater, or an adulterer, or licentious, or a sexual pervert,
10 eller tyver eller havesyke eller drankere eller baktalere eller røvere skal arve Guds rike.
or a thief, or covetous, or a drunkard, or abusive, or grasping, will have any share in God’s kingdom.
11 Og således var det med somme av eder; men I har latt eder avtvette, I er blitt helliget, I er blitt rettferdiggjort i den Herre Jesu navn og i vår Guds Ånd.
Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ’s people! You were pronounced righteous through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!
12 Jeg har lov til alt - men ikke alt gagner; jeg har lov til alt - men jeg skal ikke la noget få makten over mig.
Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but for my part, I will not let myself be enslaved by anything.
13 Maten er for buken, og buken for maten; og Gud skal gjøre ende på dem begge. Men legemet er ikke for hor, men for Herren, og Herren for legemet;
Food exists for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will put an end to both the one and the other. The body, however, exists, not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
14 og Gud har opvakt Herren og skal også opvekke oss ved sin kraft.
and, as God has raised the Lord, so he will raise us up also by the exercise of his power.
15 Vet I ikke at eders legemer er Kristi lemmer? skal jeg da ta Kristi lemmer og gjøre dem til en skjøges lemmer? Langt derifra!
Don’t you know that your bodies are Christ’s members? Am I, then, to take the members that belong to the Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? Heaven forbid!
16 Eller vet I ikke at den som holder sig til skjøgen, er ett legeme med henne? For det er sagt: De to skal være ett kjød.
Or don’t you know that a man who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body (for “the two,” it is said, “will become one”);
17 Men den som holder sig til Herren, er én ånd med ham.
while a man who is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit?
18 Fly hor! Enhver synd som et menneske kan gjøre, er utenfor legemet; men den som driver hor, synder mot sitt eget legeme.
Shun all immorality. Every other sin that people commit is something outside the body; but an immoral person sins against their own body.
19 Eller vet I ikke at eders legeme er et tempel for den Hellige Ånd, som bor i eder, og som I har fra Gud, og at I ikke hører eder selv til?
Again, don’t you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you – the Spirit which you have from God?
20 for I er dyrt kjøpt. Ær da Gud i eders legeme!
Moreover, you are not your own masters; you were bought, and the price was paid. Therefore, honour God in your bodies.
