1 Korinterne 1

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

Paul, called by Christ Jesus to be an apostle by 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 på ethvert Sted påkalde vor Herres Jesu Kristi, deres og vor Herres Navn:

to the church of God at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, who are called to be holy people. We are also writing to all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours.

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

May grace and peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that Christ Jesus gave to you.

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

He has made you rich in every way, in all speech and with all knowledge,

6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,

just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed as true among you.

7 så at I ikke stå tilbage i nogen Nådegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Åbenbarelse,

Therefore you lack no spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 han, som også skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige på vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag,

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on 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, who called you into 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 må findes Splittelser iblandt eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.

Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and that there be no divisions among you. I urge that you be joined together with the same mind and by the same purpose.

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

For it has been made clear to me, my brothers, by Chloe's people that there are factions among you.

12 Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.

I mean this: Each one of you says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with 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? Were you 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, except Crispus and Gaius.

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

This was so that no one would say that you were baptized into my name.

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

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know if I baptized any others.)

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 did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. He did not send me to preach with words of human wisdom, so that the cross of Christ should not be emptied of its power.

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

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are dying. But among those whom God is saving, 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. I will frustrate the understanding of the intelligent.”

20 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)

Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God turned the wisdom of the world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)

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

Since the world in its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

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

For Jews ask for miraculous signs and Greeks seek wisdom.

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

But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks.

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

But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ as the power and the wisdom of God.

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

For the foolishness of God is wiser than people, and the weakness of God is stronger than people.

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

Look at your calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards. Not many of you were powerful. Not many of you were of noble birth.

27 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;

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose what is weak in the world to shame what is strong.

28 og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,

God chose what is low and despised in the world. He even chose things that are regarded as nothing, to bring to nothing things that are held as valuable.

29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.

He did this so that no one would have a reason to boast before him.

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

Because of what God did, now you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God. He became our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

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

As a result, as scripture says, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
