1 Korinterne 1

1 Paulus' kaldet til Jesu Christi Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Softhenes,2 til Guds Menighed, som er i Corinth, de Helligede i Christus Jesus, de kaldte Hellige, med alle dem, som paa ethvert Sted paakaldte vor Herres Jesu Christi, deres og vor Herres, Navn:3 Naade være med Eder og Fred, fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Christus!4 Jeg takker min Gud altid for Eder, for den Guds Naade, som er given Eder i Christus Jesus,5 at I ved ham ere gjort rige i Alt i al lære og al kundskab,6 ligesom og det Vidnesbyrd om Christus er bleven befæstet hos Eder,7 saa at Eder ikke fattes paa nogen Naadegaven idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Christi Aabenbarelse,8 som og skal stadfæste Eder indtil Enden, usraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Christi Dag.9 Gud er trofast, ved hvem I ere kaldte til hans Søns, Jesu Christi, vor Herres Samfund.10 Men jeg formaner Eder, Brødre! ved vor Herres Jesu Christi Navn, at I alle føre den samme Tale, og at der ikke maa findes Splidagtigheder ibland Eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.11 Thi mig er tilkjendegivet om Eder, mine Brødre! af Chloes Huusfolk, at der er Trætter iblandt Eder.12 Jeg mener nemlig, at enhver af Eder siger: jeg er Paulus', eller: jeg er Apollos', eller: jeg er Kephas, eller jeg er Christi.13 Er de Christus deelt? mon Paulus være korsfæstet for Eder? eller ere I døbte til Paulus' Navn?14 Jeg takker Gud, at jeg ingen af Eder har døvt, uden Crispus og Cajus,15 paa det ikke Nogen skal sige, at jeg har døbt til mit Navn.16 Dog døbte jeg ogsaa Stephanas' Huusfolk; ellers veed jeg ikke, at jeg har døbt nogen Anden.17 Thi Christus sendte mig ikke for at døbe, men for at prædike Evangelium, ikke med vise Ord, at Christi Kors ikke skulde tabe sin Kraft.18 Thi det Korsets Ord er vel dem en Daarlighed, som blive fortabte, men os, som blive salige, er det en Guds Kraft.19 Thi der er skrevet: jeg vil forkaste de Vises Viisdom og tilintetgjøre de ForstandigesForstand.20 Hvor ere de Vise? hvor de Skriftkloge? hvor denne Verdens Grandskere? har Gud ikke gjort denne Verdens Viisdom til Daarlighed?21 Thi efterdi Verden for idel Viisdom ikke erkjendte Gud i hans Viisdom, da behagede det Gud formedelst denne Prædikens Daarlighed at gjøre den salige, som troe.22 Saasom baade Jøderne æske Tegn, og Grækerne søge Viisdom;23 men vi prædike den korsfæstede Christus, som er Jøderne en Forargelse og Grækerne en Daarlighed;24 men de, som ere kaldte, baade Jøder og Græker, prædike vi Christus, Guds Kraft og Guds Viisdom.25 Thi det Daarlige fra Gud er visere end Menneskenes Viisdom, og det Skrøbelige fra Gud er stærkere end Menneskenes Styrke.26 Betrager, Brødre! hvo I ere som bleve kaldte: ikke mange Vise efter Kjødet, ikke mange Mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;27 men det for Verden Daarlige udvalgte Gud, for at beskæmme de Vise, og det for Verden Skrøbelige udvalgte Gud, for at beskæmme de Stærke;28 og det for Verden Uædle og det Ringeagtede udvalgte Gud, og det, som Intet var, for at tilintetgjøre det, som var Noget;29 paa det intet Kjød skal rose sig for ham.30 Men ved ham ere I udi Christus Jesus, hvilken er bleven os Viisdom fra Gud, og Retfærdighed, og Helliggjørelse, og Forløsning;31 saa at, som skrevet er: hvo sig roser, rose sig i Herren.

1 Corinthians 1

Salutation

1 From Paul,t called to be an apostle of Christ Jesuss by the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother,2 to the church of God that is in Corinth,s to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.t

3 Grace and peace to yout from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving

4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.5 For you were made richs in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledges –6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelations of our Lord Jesus Christ.8 Het will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Divisions in the Church

10 I urge you, brothers and sisters,t by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,t to end your divisions,t and to be united by the same mind and purpose.t11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,t that there are quarrelst among you.12 Now I mean this, thatt each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?t Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?t14 I thank Gods that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name!16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.)

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.t

The Message of the Cross

18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”s20 Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law?t Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.22 For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,23 but we preach about a crucified Christ,t a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,t and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.t
26 Think about the circumstances of your call,t brothers and sisters.t Not many were wise by human standards,t not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.t27 But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.28 God choset what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,29 so that no one can boast in his presence.30 He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus,t who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”s
