1 Korinterne 1

1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes

Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

2 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:

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

3 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!

Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Naade, som blev given eder i Kristus Jesus,

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;

6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 saa at I ikke staa tilbage i nogen Naadegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 han, som ogsaa skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag.

Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless 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.

God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to 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 maa findes Splittelser iblandt eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Kloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions 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 this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.

Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16 Dog, jeg døbte ogsaa Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

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 hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Daarskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

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 will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 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 g165)

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Daarskab at frelse dem, som tro,

For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 eftersom baade Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

23 vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Daarskab,

But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

24 men for selve de kaldede baade Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Thi Guds Daarskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Thi ser, Brødre! paa eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:

27 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;

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which 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 base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, baade Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 for at, som der er skrevet: „Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!‟

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
