1 Korinterne 5

1 I det hele taget høres der om Utugt iblandt eder, og det sådan Utugt, som end ikke findes iblandt Hedningerne, at en lever med sin Faders Hustru.

We heard a report that there is sexual immorality among you, a kind of immorality that is not even permitted among the Gentiles. The report is that one of you is sleeping with his father's wife.

2 Og I ere opblæste og bleve ikke snarere bedrøvede, for at den, som har gjort denne Gerning, måtte udstødes af eders Midte!

You are so arrogant! Should you not mourn instead? The one who did this must be removed from among you.

3 Thi jeg for min Del, fraværende med Legemet, men nærværende med Ånden, har allerede, som om jeg var nærværende, fældet den Dom over ham, som på sådan, Vis har bedrevet dette,

For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as though I were there.

4 at, når i vor Herres Jesu Navn I og min Ånd ere forsamlede, så med vor Herres Jesu Kraft

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

5 at overgive den pågældende til Satan til Kødets Undergang, for af Ånden kan frelses på den Herres Jesu dag.

hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

6 Det er ikke noget smukt, I rose eder af! Vide I ikke, at en liden Surdejg syrer hele Dejgen?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole loaf?

7 Udrenser den gamle Surdejg, for at I kunne være en ny Dejg, ligesom I jo ere usyrede; thi også vort Påskelam er slagtet, nemlig Kristus.

Cleanse yourselves of the old yeast so that you may be new dough, so that you may be unleavened bread. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 Derfor, lader os holde Højtid, ikke med gammel Surdejg, ej heller med Sletheds og Ondskabs Surdejg, men med Renheds og Sandheds usyrede Brød.

So let us then celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of bad behavior and wickedness. Instead, let us celebrate with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 Jeg skrev eder til i mit Brev, at I ikke skulle have Samkvem med utugtige,

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

10 ikke i al Almindelighed denne Verdens utugtige eller havesyge og Røvere eller Afgudsdyrkere; ellers måtte I jo gå ud af Verden.

In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy, or swindlers, or idolaters, since to stay away from them you would need to go out of the world.

11 Men nu skrev jeg til eder, at I ikke skulle have Samkvem, om nogen, der har Navn af Broder, er en utugtig eller en havesyg eller en Afgudsdyrker eller en Skændegæst eller en Dranker eller en Røver, ja, end ikke spise sammen med en sådan.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother but who is living in sexual immorality, or who is greedy, or is an idolater, or is verbally abusive, or is a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat a meal with such a person.

12 Thi hvad kommer det mig ved at dømme dem, som ere udenfor? Dømme I ikke dem, som ere indenfor?

For how am I involved with judging those who are outside the church? Instead, are you not to judge those who are inside the church?

13 Men dem udenfor skal Gud dømme. Bortskaffer den onde fra eder selv!

But God judges those who are on the outside. “Remove the evil person from among you.”
