哥林多前书 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
使徒的权利
9 我不是自由的吗?我不是使徒吗?我不是见过我们的主耶稣吗?你们不是我在主里面的工作吗? 2 对别人来说,我或许不是使徒,但对你们来说,我总是使徒,因为你们就是我在主里作使徒的印记。
3 对那些盘问我的人,这就是我的答辩。 4 难道我们没有权利吃喝吗? 5 难道我们没有权利,像其余的使徒、主的弟兄和矶法一样,带着信主的妻子往来吗? 6 难道只有我和巴拿巴没有权利不作工吗? 7 有谁当兵要自备粮饷呢?有谁栽种葡萄园,不吃园里的果子呢?有谁牧养羊群,不喝羊的奶呢? 8 我说这话,不是照着人的意见,律法不也是这样说吗? 9 就在摩西的律法上记着说:“牛踹谷的时候,不可笼住牠的嘴。”难道 神关心的只是牛吗? 10 这不全是为我们说的吗?当然是为我们说的,因为耕种的应当存着希望去耕种,收割的也应当存着希望去分享收获。 11 我们既然在你们中间撒了属灵的种子,如果要从你们那里收获一些物质的供应,这算是过分吗? 12 如果别人在你们身上享有这种权利,我们不是更可以享有吗?
所作的一切都是为了福音
然而我们没有用过这种权利,反而凡事容忍,免得我们拦阻了基督的福音。 13 难道你们不知道,在圣殿供职的,就吃殿中的供物;侍候祭坛的,就分领坛上的祭物吗? 14 主也曾这样吩咐,叫传福音的人靠福音为生。 15 但这种权利,我一点也没有用过。我写这些话,并不是想叫人这样待我,因为我宁可死,也不让人使我所夸耀的落了空。 16 我传福音原是没有可夸的,因我不能不传。如果不传福音,我就有祸了。 17 如果我甘心作这事,就有赏赐;即使不甘心,这职责还是托付我了。 18 那么,我的赏赐是甚么呢?就是我传福音时,叫人免费得着福音。这样,我就没有用过传福音可以享有的权利了。
19 我虽然自由,不受任何人管辖,但我自愿成为众人的奴仆,为的是要多得一些人。 20 对犹太人,我就作犹太人,为了要得着犹太人;对律法以下的人,虽然我自己不在律法之下,还是作了律法以下的人,为了要得着律法以下的人。 21 对没有律法的人,我就作了没有律法的人,其实我不是在 神的律法以外,而是在基督的律法之下,为了要得着没有律法的人。 22 对软弱的人,我就成了软弱的人,为了要得着软弱的人。对怎么样的人,我就作怎么样的人;无论如何,总要救一些人。 23 我所作的一切,都是为了福音的缘故,好让我与别人同享福音的好处。
24 难道你们不知道,在场上赛跑的人,虽然大家都跑,但得奖的只有一个人吗?你们都应当这样跑,好叫你们可以得奖。 25 凡参加运动比赛的,在一切事上都有节制;他们这样作,不过要得到能坏的冠冕,我们却是要得不朽的冠冕。 26 所以我奔跑,不是没有目标的;我斗拳,不是打空气的。 27 我要克制自己的身体,叫身体服我,免得我传了给别人,自己反而落选了。
哥林多前書 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
使徒的權利
9 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?你們不是我在主裡工作的成果嗎? 2 即使對別人來說我不是使徒,對你們來說我也是使徒,因為你們就是我在主裡作使徒的印證。
3 對那些責難我的人,我的答覆是這樣: 4 難道我們沒有權利接受弟兄姊妹供應的飲食嗎? 5 難道我們沒有權利像主的兄弟、彼得和其他使徒一樣,娶信主的姊妹為妻,一同出入嗎? 6 難道只有我和巴拿巴要自食其力嗎? 7 有誰當兵要自備糧餉呢?有誰栽種葡萄園,卻不吃園中出產的葡萄呢?有誰牧養牛羊,卻不喝牛羊的奶呢?
8 我這樣說難道只是人的觀點嗎?律法不也是這樣說的嗎? 9 摩西的律法書上說:「牛在踩穀時,不可籠住牠的嘴。」難道上帝關心的只是牛嗎? 10 祂這樣說難道不是為了我們嗎?這話的確是為我們寫的,因為耕耘的和打穀的農夫都應該存著分享收成的盼望勞作。 11 既然我們在你們中間撒下了屬靈的種子,難道就不能從你們那裡得到物質上的收穫嗎? 12 如果別人有權要求你們供應他們,我們豈不更有權嗎?可是我們從來沒有用過這權利,反而凡事忍耐,免得妨礙了基督的福音。
13 你們難道不知道,在聖殿裡事奉的人可以吃聖殿裡的食物,在祭壇前事奉的人可以分享祭壇上的祭物嗎? 14 同樣,主也曾吩咐:傳福音的人理當藉著福音得到生活的供應。
15 但是,我完全沒有使用這權利,如今我談這些事,並不是要你們這樣待我。因為我寧死也不要讓人抹摋我所誇耀的。 16 其實我傳福音並沒有什麼可誇的,因為這是我的任務,我不傳福音就有禍了! 17 我若甘心樂意地傳福音,就可以得獎賞;我若不甘願,責任也已經委託給我了。 18 我能得到什麼獎賞呢?就是我可以把福音白白地傳給人,不使用自己因傳福音而應有的權利。
19 我雖然是自由之身,不受任何人支配,但我甘願成為眾人的奴僕,為了要得到更多的人。 20 面對猶太人我就做猶太人,為了要贏得猶太人。面對守律法的人,我這不受律法束縛的人就守律法,為了要贏得守律法的人。 21 面對沒有律法的人,我就像個沒有律法的人,為了要贏得沒有律法的人。其實我並非在上帝的律法之外,我是在基督的律法之下。 22 面對軟弱的人我就做軟弱的人,為了要得軟弱的人。面對什麼人,我就做什麼人,為了要盡可能地救一些人。 23 我做的一切都是為了福音的緣故,為了要與人分享福音的祝福。
24 你們不知道嗎?在運動場上賽跑的人雖然個個都在跑,但冠軍只有一個。同樣,你們也要努力奔跑,好獲得獎賞。 25 參加比賽的選手要接受嚴格的訓練,以求贏得桂冠,但這桂冠終必朽壞,我們要贏得的卻是永不朽壞的桂冠。 26 因此,我奔跑不是漫無目標,我擊拳不是打空氣。 27 我嚴格訓練自己,克服自身的軟弱,免得我傳福音給別人,自己卻被淘汰了。
1 Corinthians 9
New King James Version
A Pattern of Self-Denial
9 Am (A)I not an apostle? Am I not free? (B)Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? (C)Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are (D)the [a]seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 (E)Do we have no [b]right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have no right to take along [c]a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, (F)the brothers of the Lord, and (G)Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I (H)who have no right to refrain from working? 7 Who ever (I)goes to war at his own expense? Who (J)plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who (K)tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?
8 Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, (L)“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? 10 Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that (M)he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11 (N)If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more?
(O)Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things (P)lest we hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 (Q)Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the (R)temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar? 14 Even so (S)the Lord has commanded (T)that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
15 But (U)I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for (V)it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for (W)necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this willingly, (X)I have a reward; but if against my will, (Y)I have been entrusted with a stewardship. 18 What is my reward then? That (Z)when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel [d]of Christ without charge, that I (AA)may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
Serving All Men
19 For though I am (AB)free from all men, (AC)I have made myself a servant to all, (AD)that I might win the more; 20 and (AE)to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the [e]law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 (AF)to (AG)those who are without law, as without law (AH)(not being without [f]law toward God, but under [g]law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 (AI)to the weak I became [h]as weak, that I might win the weak. (AJ)I have become all things to all men, (AK)that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
Striving for a Crown
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? (AL)Run in such a way that you may [i]obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize [j]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for (AM)an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: (AN)not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 (AO)But I discipline my body and (AP)bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become (AQ)disqualified.

Paul défend son apostolat
9 Ne suis-je pas libre? Ne suis-je pas apôtre? N’ai-je pas vu Jésus notre Seigneur? N’êtes-vous pas mon œuvre dans le Seigneur? 2 Si pour d’autres je ne suis pas apôtre, je le suis au moins pour vous; car vous êtes le sceau de mon apostolat dans le Seigneur. 3 C’est là ma défense contre ceux qui m’accusent. 4 N’avons-nous pas le droit de manger et de boire? 5 N’avons-nous pas le droit de mener avec nous une sœur qui soit notre femme, comme font les autres apôtres, et les frères du Seigneur, et Céphas? 6 Ou bien, est-ce que moi seul et Barnabas nous n’avons pas le droit de ne point travailler? 7 Qui jamais est engagé dans une armée à ses propres frais? Qui est-ce qui plante une vigne, et n’en mange pas le fruit? Qui est-ce qui fait paître un troupeau, et ne se nourrit pas du lait du troupeau? 8 Ces choses que je dis, n’existent-elles que dans les usages des hommes? La loi ne les dit-elle pas aussi? 9 Car il est écrit dans la loi de Moïse: Tu ne muselleras point le bœuf quand il foule le grain[a]. Dieu se met-il en peine des bœufs, 10 ou parle-t-il uniquement à cause de nous? Oui, c’est à cause de nous qu’il a été écrit que celui qui laboure doit labourer avec espérance, et celui qui foule le grain fouler avec l’espérance d’y avoir part. 11 Si nous avons semé parmi vous les biens spirituels, est-ce une grosse affaire si nous moissonnons vos biens temporels? 12 Si d’autres jouissent de ce droit sur vous, n’est-ce pas plutôt à nous d’en jouir? Mais nous n’avons point usé de ce droit; au contraire, nous souffrons tout, afin de ne pas créer d’obstacle à l’Evangile de Christ.
13 Ne savez-vous pas que ceux qui remplissent les fonctions sacrées sont nourris par le temple, que ceux qui servent à l’autel ont part à l’autel? 14 De même aussi, le Seigneur a ordonné à ceux qui annoncent l’Evangile de vivre de l’Evangile.
15 Pour moi, je n’ai usé d’aucun de ces droits, et ce n’est pas afin de les réclamer en ma faveur que j’écris ainsi; car j’aimerais mieux mourir que de me laisser enlever ce sujet de gloire. 16 Si j’annonce l’Evangile, ce n’est pas pour moi un sujet de gloire, car la nécessité m’en est imposée, et malheur à moi si je n’annonce pas l’Evangile! 17 Si je le fais de bon cœur, j’en ai la récompense; mais si je le fais malgré moi, c’est une charge qui m’est confiée. 18 Quelle est donc ma récompense? C’est d’offrir gratuitement l’Evangile que j’annonce, sans user de mon droit de prédicateur de l’Evangile.
19 Car, bien que je sois libre à l’égard de tous, je me suis rendu le serviteur de tous, afin de gagner le plus grand nombre. 20 Avec les Juifs, j’ai été comme Juif, afin de gagner les Juifs; avec ceux qui sont sous la loi, comme sous la loi (quoique je ne sois pas moi-même sous la loi), afin de gagner ceux qui sont sous la loi; 21 avec ceux qui sont sans loi, comme sans loi (quoique je ne sois point sans la loi de Dieu, étant sous la loi de Christ), afin de gagner ceux qui sont sans loi. 22 J’ai été faible avec les faibles, afin de gagner les faibles. Je me suis fait tout à tous, afin d’en sauver de toute manière quelques-uns. 23 Je fais tout à cause de l’Evangile, afin d’y avoir part.
Règles de la course chrétienne
24 Ne savez-vous pas que ceux qui courent dans le stade[b] courent tous, mais qu’un seul remporte le prix? Courez de manière à le remporter. 25 Tous ceux qui combattent[c] s’imposent toute espèce d’abstinences, et ils le font pour obtenir une couronne corruptible; mais nous, faisons-le pour une couronne incorruptible. 26 Moi donc, je cours, non pas comme à l’aventure; je frappe[d], non pas comme battant l’air. 27 Mais je traite durement mon corps et je le tiens assujetti, de peur d’être moi-même désapprouvé[e] après avoir prêché aux autres.

New International Version
Paul’s Rights as an Apostle
9 Am I not free?(A) Am I not an apostle?(B) Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?(C) Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?(D) 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal(E) of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. 4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink?(F) 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife(G) along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers(H) and Cephas[a]?(I) 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas(J) who lack the right to not work for a living?
7 Who serves as a soldier(K) at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard(L) and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[b](M) Is it about oxen that God is concerned?(N) 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,(O) because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.(P) 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(Q) 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right.(R) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(S) the gospel of Christ.
13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?(T) 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.(U)
15 But I have not used any of these rights.(V) And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.(W) 16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.(X) Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward;(Y) if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.(Z) 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,(AA) and so not make full use of my rights(AB) as a preacher of the gospel.
Paul’s Use of His Freedom
19 Though I am free(AC) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(AD) to win as many as possible.(AE) 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(AF) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(AG) so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law(AH) (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),(AI) so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.(AJ) I have become all things to all people(AK) so that by all possible means I might save some.(AL) 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
The Need for Self-Discipline
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?(AM) Run(AN) in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown(AO) that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.(AP) 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;(AQ) I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.(AR) 27 No, I strike a blow to my body(AS) and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.(AT)
