Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work 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？
2And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. 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。
3My defence with them that do examine me is this.
3我對那盤問我的人就是這樣分訴：
4Have not we power to eat and to drink?
4難道我們沒有權柄 靠福音 吃喝嗎？
5Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, 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 I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
6獨有我與 巴拿巴 沒有權柄不做工嗎？
7Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
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？
8Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?
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: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
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？
10Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
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 unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?
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 be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to 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。
13Know you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the altar?
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？
14So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.
14主也是這樣命定，叫傳福音的靠着福音養生。
15But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die, rather than that any man should make my glory void.
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。
16For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me, for a necessity lieth upon me: for woe is unto me if I preach not 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。
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:
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 is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
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。
19For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.
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。
20And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
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 them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were 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, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
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。
23And I do all things for the gospel’s sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.
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 。
24Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.
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。
25And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.
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。
26I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:
26所以，我奔跑不像無定向的；我鬥拳不像打空氣的。
27But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
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。
