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。

歌 林 多 前 書 9
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
保罗没有利用权力
9 我是一个自由人。我是一名使徒。我见过我们的主耶稣！你们是我在主内工作的榜样。 2 即便对别人来说我不是使徒，但至少对你们来说我却是。你们这些人就是我在主内使徒身份的证明。
3 对那些评判我的人，这是我的辩护： 4 难道我没有吃喝的权力吗？ 5 难道我不能像其他的使徒，像主的兄弟，像彼得 [a]那样，带着信主的妻子一道旅行吗？ 6 难道只有巴拿巴和我必须靠工作维持生计吗？ 7 有谁当兵却要自备粮晌呢？有谁种植了葡萄园却不吃园里的葡萄呢？有谁放羊却不喝羊奶呢？
8 这些事情不仅是凡人所想，上帝的律法也是这么说的。 9 摩西律法上说道∶“牛在打谷时，不要套上它的嘴。”上帝关心的难道是牛吗？ 10 他说这话，难道不是为我们而说的吗？是的，的确是为了我们而说的。耕田和碾谷的人这么做，指望的是分到自己应得的那份。 11 既然我们为了你们的利益，播下了属灵的种子，那么，我们从你们那里收获些物质成果，能算过份吗？ 12 如果别人有权获得你们的物质资助，我们不是更有理由这么做吗？但是，我们没有利用过这种权力，相反，我们宁愿忍受一切，而不为基督的福音设置障碍。 13 你们难道不知道在大殿里供职的人应该从大殿里得到食物吗？定期在祭坛边侍奉的人，应该一同分享祭坛上的供品吗？ 14 同样，主吩咐过，传播福音的人应该靠福音养活。
15 但是，我没有利用过这些权利。我写这些，也不是要争取这些权利。这不是我给你们写信的目的。我宁死也不愿让别人夺走我引以夸耀的理由。 16 我没有理由为传福音而夸耀。这是我的义务—是我必须做的。如果我不传福音，我就会遭秧。 17 如果我传福音是我自己的选择，我应该得到报偿。但是这并非是我自己的选择，而是在履行交给我的任务而已， 18 那么我的报酬是什么呢？这报酬就是，我在传福音时，我可以让人不花钱白得福音。因此我不去利用我传福音应得到报偿的权利。
19 虽然我是自由人，不属于任何人，但是，我却使自己成为所有人的奴仆，以便尽可能争取更多的人。 20 对于犹太人，我就像个犹太人，为的是尽可能地争取犹太人。对于生活在律法 [b]之下的人，我就像一个生活在律法之下的人，（尽管我自己并不生活在律法之下，）为的是争取那些生活在律法之下的人。 21 对于没有律法的人，我就像一个没有律法的人，（虽然我并不生活在律法之下，但是我却服从基督的律法。）以便争取没有律法的人。 22 对于软弱的人，我就像一个软弱的人，以便我争取他们。在什么人中间，我就变得像什么人，以便竭尽一切可能来拯救一些人。 23 我为福音的缘故，做这一切，以便能分享福音的祝福。
24 你们知道在竞技场上所有的赛跑者中只有一个人能得奖。你们要抱着夺标的想法去跑。 25 在体育比赛中，所有的参赛者都要受到严格的训练，为的是要得到那易逝的桂冠。然而我们想得到的却是那不朽的桂冠。 26 所以，我不像漫无目标的人那样盲目地瞎跑；倒要像拳击手那样，每一拳都不落空。 27 我严格地对待我的身体，使它得到控制，以便我向别人传教后，自己不会被上帝淘汰。

1 Corinthians 9
International Standard Version
The Rights of an Apostle
9 I am free, am I not? I am an apostle, am I not? I have seen Jesus our Lord, haven’t I? You are the result of[a] my work in the Lord, aren’t you? 2 If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the evidence of my apostolic authority from the Lord.
3 This is my defense to those who would examine me: 4 We have the right to earn our food,[b] don’t we? 5 We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas,[c] don’t we? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to keep on working for a living? 7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat any of its grapes? Or who takes care of a flock and does not drink any of its milk? 8 I am not saying this on human authority, am I? The Law says the same thing, doesn’t it? 9 For in the Law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[d] God is not only concerned about oxen, is he? 10 Isn’t he really speaking for our benefit? Yes, this was written for our benefit, because the one who plows should plow in hope, and the one who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you? 12 If others enjoy this right over you, don’t we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.[e]
13 You know that those who work in the Temple get their food from the Temple and that those who serve at the altar get their share of its offerings, don’t you? 14 In the same way, the Lord has ordered that those who proclaim the gospel should make their living from the gospel.
15 But I have not used any of these rights, and I’m not writing this so that they may be applied in my case. I would rather die than let anyone deprive me of my reason for[f] boasting. 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for this obligation has been entrusted to me. How terrible it would be for me if I didn’t preach the gospel! 17 For if I preach voluntarily, I get a reward, but if I am unwilling to do it, I am still entrusted with that obligation. 18 What, then, is my reward? It is[g] to be able to preach the gospel free of charge, and so I never resort to demanding my rights when I’m preaching[h] the gospel.
19 Although I am free from everyone’s expectations, I have made myself a servant to all of them to win more people. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew in order to win Jews. To those under the Law I became like a man under the Law, in order to win those under the Law (although I myself am not under the Law). 21 To those who do not have the Law, I became like a man who does not have the Law in order to win those who do not have the Law. However, I am not free from God’s Law, but I’m subject to the Messiah’s[i] law. 22 To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel in order to have a share in its blessings.
24 You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don’t you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious. 25 Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that withers away, but we run to win a prize that[j] never fades. 26 That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I fight, not like someone shadow boxing. 27 No, I keep on disciplining my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.
