1 Corinthians 9
Berean Standard BibleTranslation
Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
1我不是自由的嗎？我不是使徒嗎？我不是見過我們的主耶穌嗎？你們不是我在主裏面所做之工嗎？
2Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
2假若在別人，我不是使徒，在你們，我總是使徒，因為你們在主裏正是我作使徒的印證。
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
3我對那盤問我的人就是這樣分訴：
4Have we no right to food and to drink?
4難道我們沒有權柄 靠福音 吃喝嗎？
5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
5難道我們沒有權柄娶 信主的 姊妹為妻，帶着一同往來，彷彿其餘的使徒和主的弟兄並 磯法 一樣嗎？
6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
6獨有我與 巴拿巴 沒有權柄不做工嗎？
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
7有誰當兵自備糧餉呢？有誰栽葡萄園不吃園裏的果子呢？有誰牧養牛羊不吃牛羊的奶呢？
8Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
8我說這話，豈是照人的意見；律法不也是這樣說嗎？
9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
9就如 摩西 的律法記着說：「牛 在場上 踹穀的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。」難道上帝所掛念的是牛嗎？
10Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
10不全是為我們說的嗎？分明是為我們說的。因為耕種的當存着指望去耕種；打場的也當存得 糧 的指望去打場。
11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
11我們若把屬靈的種子撒在你們中間，就是從你們收割奉養肉身之物，這還算大事嗎？
12If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
12若別人在你們身上有這權柄，何況我們呢？ 然而，我們沒有用過這權柄，倒凡事忍受，免得基督的福音被阻隔。
13Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
13你們豈不知為聖事勞碌的就吃殿中的物嗎？伺候祭壇的就分領壇上的物嗎？
14In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
14主也是這樣命定，叫傳福音的靠着福音養生。
15But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
15但這權柄我全沒有用過。我寫這話，並非要你們這樣待我，因為我寧可死也不叫人使我所誇的落了空。
16Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
16我傳福音原沒有可誇的，因為我是不得已的。若不傳福音，我便有禍了。
17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
17我若甘心做這事，就有賞賜；若不甘心，責任卻已經託付我了。
18What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
18既是這樣，我的賞賜是甚麼呢？就是我傳福音的時候叫人不花錢得福音，免得用盡我傳福音的權柄。
19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
19我雖是自由的，無人轄管；然而我甘心作了眾人的僕人，為要多得人。
20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
20向 猶太 人，我就作 猶太 人，為要得 猶太 人；向律法以下的人，我雖不在律法以下，還是作律法以下的人，為要得律法以下的人。
21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
21向沒有律法的人，我就作沒有律法的人，為要得沒有律法的人；其實我在上帝面前，不是沒有律法；在基督面前，正在律法之下。
22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
22向軟弱的人，我就作軟弱的人，為要得軟弱的人。向甚麼樣的人，我就作甚麼樣的人。無論如何，總要救些人。
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
23凡我所行的，都是為福音的緣故，為要與人同得這福音 的好處 。
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
24豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑，但得獎賞的只有一人？你們也當這樣跑，好叫你們得着獎賞。
25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
25凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
26所以，我奔跑不像無定向的；我鬥拳不像打空氣的。
27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
27我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我傳 福音 給別人，自己反被棄絕了。
