¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

¹Kan nogen af eder, når han har Sag med en anden, føre det over sit Sind at søge Dom hos de uretfærdige, og ikke hos de hellige?

²Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

²Eller vide I ikke, at de hellige skulle dømme Verden? og når Verden dømmes ved eder, ere I da uværdige til at sidde til Doms i de ringeste Sager?

³Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

³Vide I ikke, at vi skulle dømme Engle? end sige da i timelige Ting!

⁴If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

⁴Når I da have Sager om timelige Ting, sætte I da dem til Dommere, som ere agtede for intet i Menigheden?

⁵I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

⁵Til Skam for eder siger jeg det: Er der da slet ingen viis iblandt eder, som kan dømme sine Brødre imellem?

⁶But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

⁶Men Broder fører Sag imod Broder, og det for vantro!

⁷Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

⁷Overhovedet er jo allerede det en Fejl hos eder, at I have Retssager med hverandre. Hvorfor lide I ikke hellere Uret? hvorfor lade I eder ikke hellere plyndre?

⁸No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

⁸Men I gøre Uret og plyndre, og det Brødre!

⁹Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

⁹Eller vide I ikke, at uretfærdige skulle ikke arve Guds Rige? Farer ikke vild! Hverken utugtige eller Afgudsdyrkere eller Horkarle eller de som lade sig bruge til unaturlig Utugt, eller de, som øve den,

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

¹⁰eller Tyve eller havesyge eller Drankere, ingen Skændegæster, ingen Røvere skulle arve Guds Rige.

¹¹Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹Og sådanne vare I for en Del; men I lode eder aftvætte, ja, I bleve helligede, ja, I bleve retfærdiggjorte ved den Herres Jesu Navn og ved vor Guds Ånd.

¹²“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

¹²Alt er mig tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er mig tilladt, men jeg skal ikke lade mig beherske af noget.

¹³“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹³Maden er for Bugen og Bugen for Maden; men Gud skal tilintetgøre både denne og hin. Legemet derimod er ikke for Utugt, men for Herren, og Herren for Legemet;

¹⁴Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

¹⁴og Gud har både oprejst Herren og skal oprejse os ved sin Kraft.

¹⁵Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

¹⁵Vide I ikke, at eders Legemer ere Kristi Lemmer? Skal jeg da tage Kristi Lemmer og gøre Skøgelemmer deraf? Det være langt fra!

¹⁶Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two,” says he, “will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

¹⁶Eller vide I ikke, at den, som holder sig til Skøgen, er eet Legeme med hende?"Thi de to," hedder det,"skulle blive til eet Kød."

¹⁷But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁷Men den, som holder sig til Herren, er een Ånd med ham.

¹⁸Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹⁸Flyr Utugt! Enhver Synd, som et Menneske ellers gør, er uden for Legemet; men den, som bedriver Utugt, synder imod sit eget Legeme.

¹⁹Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

¹⁹Eller vide I ikke, at eders Legeme er et Tempel for den Helligånd, som er i eder, hvilken I have fra Gud, og at I ikke ere eders egne?

²⁰for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

²⁰Thi I bleve købte dyrt; ærer derfor Gud i eders Legeme!
