1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Nåde, som blev givet eder i Kristus Jesus,
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
så at I ikke stå tilbage i nogen Nådegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Åbenbarelse,
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
han, som også skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige på vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag,
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Trofast er Gud, ved hvem I bleve kaldede til Samfund med hans Søn, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Bloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Dog, jeg døbte også Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
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.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Dårskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Thi der er skrevet: "Jeg vil lægge de vises Visdom øde, og de forstandiges Forstand vil jeg gøre til intet."
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
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)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Dårskab at frelse dem, som tro,
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
eftersom både Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Dårskab,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
men for selve de kaldede både Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Thi Guds Dårskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Thi ser, Brødre! på eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
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;
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, både Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
for at, som der er skrevet: "Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!"
