1 Кор 9
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Павлус отказывается от своих привилегий ради блага других
9 Разве я не свободен? Разве я не посланник Масеха? Разве я не видел нашего Повелителя Исо? Разве ваше единение с Повелителем – не результат моего служения? 2 Если я для других и не посланник Масеха, то, во всяком случае, для вас я посланник! Ваше единение с Масехом как раз и подтверждает, что я служу как посланник Масеха.
3 Вот мой ответ тем, кто меня осуждает. 4 Разве мы не имеем права получать пищу и питьё? 5 Разве мы не имеем права жениться на верующей женщине, и брать её с собой, как другие посланники Масеха, например, братья Повелителя и Кифа? 6 Или же это только Варнава и я должны сами зарабатывать себе на пропитание? 7 Какой солдат сам оплачивает связанные с воинской службой расходы? Кто, насадив виноградник, потом не ест виноград из него? Кто пасёт стадо и не пьёт молока от него? 8 Разве я говорю всё это, смотря на вещи только с человеческой точки зрения? Разве Закон говорит не о том же? 9 Ведь в Законе Мусо написано: «Не закрывай рта молотящему волу»[a]. Разве только о волах переживает Всевышний? 10 Конечно же, Он говорит это и о нас! Для нас написано: «Пахарь должен пахать, и молотильщик молотить с надеждой на то, что каждый получит свою часть урожая». 11 Если мы посеяли среди вас духовное семя, то разве это будет слишком, если мы пожнём у вас материальный урожай? 12 Если другие имеют право на вашу поддержку, то тем более мы.
Мы, однако, не пользовались этим правом, мы готовы всё переносить ради того, чтобы Радостная Весть Масеха беспрепятственно распространялась. 13 Разве вы не знаете: кто служит в храме, получает пропитание в храме, и кто служит у жертвенника, имеет право на долю от того, что приносится в жертву?[b] 14 Повелитель также дал установление, чтобы те, кто возвещает Радостную Весть, получали за это своё пропитание. 15 Но я не воспользовался ничем подобным, да и теперь я пишу всё это не для того, чтобы вы оказывали мне такую поддержку. Да я готов скорее умереть! Никто не может лишить меня права хвалиться этим. 16 Я не хвалюсь тем, что возвещаю Радостную Весть, это моя обязанность, и горе мне, если я перестану возвещать! 17 Если бы я возвещал Радостную Весть по собственному выбору, то я заслуживал бы вознаграждения, но я лишь исполняю свой долг, неся служение, доверенное мне Всевышним. 18 Так в чём же моё вознаграждение? В том, что, возвещая Радостную Весть, я делаю это безвозмездно и не пользуюсь моими правами проповедника.
19 Хотя я и свободен от всех,[c] я сам сделал себя рабом всех, ради того, чтобы обратить к Всевышнему как можно больше людей. 20 Для иудеев я был как иудей, чтобы привлечь иудеев. Для находящихся под Законом я был как подчиняющийся Закону, хотя на самом деле я не под Законом. Я делал это для того, чтобы обратить находящихся под Законом. 21 Для не имеющих Закона я был как не имеющий Закона, хотя я не свободен от Закона Всевышнего, потому что нахожусь под Законом Масеха. Опять же, я делаю это для того, чтобы обратить ко Всевышнему не имеющих Закона. 22 Для слабых я был слабым, чтобы приобрести и их. Я стал всем для всех ради того, чтобы различными путями спасти как можно больше людей. 23 Всё это я делаю ради Радостной Вести, чтобы и мне получить её благословения.
24 Вы ведь знаете, что в соревновании по бегу много участников, но только один становится победителем. Поэтому бегите так, чтобы получить награду. 25 Каждый участник при подготовке к состязаниям отказывается от всех удовольствий, и делает это ради получения тленного венка. Мы же стремимся к венку нетленному. 26 Поэтому я не бегу бесцельно и не бью кулаками по воздуху. 27 Нет, я тренирую своё тело, подчиняю его себе, чтобы, возвещая Радостную Весть другим, самому не оказаться недостойным награды.

1 Corinthians 9
King James Version
9 Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For 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?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
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 Surrenders His Rights
9 (A)Am I not free? (B)Am I not an apostle? (C)Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? (D)Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are (E)the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 (F)Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 5 (G)Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife,[a] as do the other apostles and (H)the brothers of the Lord and (I)Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living? 7 (J)Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? (K)Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?
8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, (L)“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written (M)for our sake, because (N)the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 (O)If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, (P)we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything (Q)rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
13 Do you not know that (R)those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that (S)those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
15 But (T)I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone (U)deprive me of my ground for boasting. 16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For (V)necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with (W)a stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching (X)I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
19 For (Y)though I am free from all, (Z)I have made myself a servant to all, that I might (AA)win more of them. 20 (AB)To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To (AC)those outside the law I became (AD)as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but (AE)under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 (AF)To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. (AG)I have become all things to all people, that (AH)by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, (AI)that I may share with them in its blessings.
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives (AJ)the prize? So (AK)run that you may obtain it. 25 Every (AL)athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we (AM)an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I (AN)do not box as one (AO)beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and (AP)keep it under control,[b] lest after preaching to others (AQ)I myself should be (AR)disqualified.
