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?
1A hoep la ka om moenih a? Caeltueih la ka om moenih a? Mamih Boeipa Jesuh ka hmuh moenih a? Nangmih te Boeipa ah ka kutngo la na om uh moenih a?
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.
2Hlang tloe taengah caeltueih la ka om pawt cakhaw nangmih ham ka om ngawn dae ta. Kai kah caeltueih coengnah kutnoek tah Boeipa ah nangmih na om uh ta.
3My defence with them that do examine me is this.
3Kai aka boelh rhoek taengah kai kah olthungnah tah he coeng ni.
4Have not we power to eat and to drink?
4Ka caak tih ka ok ham saithainah la ka khueh uh pawt moenih a?
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?
5A tloe caeltueih rhoek, Boeipa kah manuca rhoek neh Kephas bangla ngannu, ka yuu khaw khuen ham saithainah ka khueh uh pawt moenih a?
6Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
6Kai neh Barnabas bueng long khaw saii pawt ham saithainah ka khueh rhoi moenih a?
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?
7Amah buhcun neh aka vathoh noek te unim? Misur a tue dae a thaih aka ca pawt te unim? Tuping a dawn tih tuping kah suktui aka o pawt te unim?
8Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?
8Hekah he hlang lamloh ka thui moenih. Hekah he olkhueng long khaw a thui bal moenih.
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?
9Moses kah olkhueng dongah a daek coeng ta. Cang aka til vaito te a ka poi boeh. Vaito ham te Pathen a ngai a huet moenih a?
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.
10Mamih ham khaw a thui van ta. Mamih ham khaw a daek coeng.Aka thol loh ngaiuepnah neh a thol ham a kuek. Cangtil long khaw ngaiuepnah neh a cabol ham om ta.
11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?
11Kaimih loh nangmih taengah mueihla cangti ka tuh uh. Tedae kaimih loh nangmih kah te pumsa la ka at uh koinih rhoekoe aih ni ta.
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.
12A tloe rhoek loh nangmih kah saithainah he a cabol uh atah kaimih ngai pawt nim? Tedae hekah saithainah he ka rhoidoeng uh moenih. Tedae boeih ka ueh uh daengah ni tomtanah pakhat khaw om mueh la Khrih kah olthangthen te kam paek uh eh.
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?
13Aka cim la aka saii rhoek loh Bawkim kah te a caak uh te na ming uh pawt nim? hmueihtuk aka bulbo rhoek loh hmueihtuk taengkah te a bawn ta.
14So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.
14Te vanbangla olthangthen aka doek rhoek te khaw olthangthen neh hing saeh tila Boeipa loh a uen coeng.
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.
15Tedae kai loh hekah he khat khaw ka rhoidoeng moenih. Tekah bangla kai taengah om sak ham khaw hekah he ka daek moenih. Kai kah thangpomnah te a tlongtlai sak pawt atah ka duek te kai ham lat then ngai.
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.
16Olthangthen ka phong atah kai ham thangpomnah om mahpawt nim? A kueknah khaw kai ham tah lalh bal. Phong kolla om cakhaw anunae kai ham aih he.
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:
17He he thahlue la ka saii atah thapang ka dang. Tedae ka ngaihak akhaw hnokhoemnah he kai n'kungsut coeng.
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.
18Te koinih kai ham mebang thapang nim aka om. Olthangthen ka phong he a yoeyap la ka khueh mai eh. Olthangthen dongah ka saithainah te ka lawn sak moenih.
19For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.
19Hlang boeih taeng lamkah aka loeih la ka om dae hlang boeih taengah kamah ka pinyen uh. Te daengah ni muep ka dang eh.
20And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
20Judah rhoek taengah Judah la ka om daengah ni Judah rhoek te ka dang eh. Kamah tah olkhueng hmuiah ka om pawt dae olkhueng hmuikah rhoek taengah olkhueng hmuikah bangla ka om daengah ni olkhueng hmuikah rhoek te ka dang eh.
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.
21Lailak rhoek taengah lailak bangla ka om dae Pathen taengah lailak la ka om pawt tih Khrih kah a rhimong dongah ni ka om. Te daengah ni lailak rhoek te ka dang eh.
22To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
22Tattloel taengah tattloel la ka om daengah ni tattloel rhoek te ka dang eh. Hlang boeih taengah cungkuem la ka om daengah ni pakhat khaw ka khang tangloeng eh.
23And I do all things for the gospel’s sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.
23Olthangthen ham a soep ka saii daengah ni te te aka bawn la ka om eh.
24Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.
24Phalong khat ah aka yong rhoek loh boeih yong uh ngawn dae pakhat long ni kutdoe a dang tila na ming uh moenih a? Na yong uh van daengah ni na dang uh eh.
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.
25Te dongah aka loehlang boeih loh boeih kuemsuem saeh. Te pataeng khaw amih loh aka hmawn koi rhuisam ni a dang uh eh. Tedae mamih tah aka kuei ham ni n'thingthuel uh.
26I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:
26Te dongah khungrhap la kai ka yong van moenih. Yilh aka bop bangla ka thoek van moenih.
27But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
27Tedae ka pum he ka ngae tih ka phaep. Hlang tloe taengah amah kah a lolhmaih aka hoe la ka om boel eh.
