1 Corintieni 9
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Drepturile unui apostol
9 Nu sunt eu liber? Nu sunt eu apostol? Nu L-am văzut eu pe Isus, Domnul nostru? Nu sunteţi voi lucrarea mea în Domnul? 2 Dacă nu sunt apostol pentru alţii, pentru voi sunt, pentru că voi sunteţi sigiliul apostoliei mele în Domnul!
3 Aceasta este apărarea mea faţă de cei care mă critică. 4 Nu avem dreptul să mâncăm şi să bem? 5 Nu avem dreptul să luăm alături de noi o soţie credincioasă, cum fac ceilalţi apostoli, fraţii Domnului, şi Chifa? 6 Sau numai eu şi Barnabas nu avem dreptul să nu lucrăm? 7 Cine a fost vreodată în armată pe cheltuiala lui? Cine plantează o vie şi nu mănâncă din rodul ei? Sau cine păstoreşte o turmă şi nu bea din laptele turmei? 8 Oare spun eu acestea doar dintr-o perspectivă omenească? Nu spune şi Legea la fel? 9 În Legea lui Moise este scris: „Să nu legi gura boului în timp ce treieră grâul.“[a] Oare doar pe boi îi are în vedere Dumnezeu aici? 10 Sau o spune şi cu privire la noi? Lucrul acesta a fost scris şi pentru noi. Când plugarul ară şi treierătorul treieră, trebuie să o facă cu speranţa că vor avea parte de roade. 11 Dacă noi am semănat printre voi bunurile duhovniceşti, este mare lucru dacă secerăm de la voi lucruri materiale? 12 Dacă alţii au acest drept de la voi, oare noi nu-l avem şi mai mult?
Cu toate acestea, nu ne-am folosit de acest drept, ci îndurăm totul, pentru a nu pune vreo piedică în calea Evangheliei lui Cristos. 13 Nu ştiţi că cei care slujesc în Templu îşi primesc hrana de la Templu, iar cei care slujesc la altar îşi primesc partea din jertfe? 14 Astfel, şi Domnul a poruncit ca cei care vestesc Evanghelia să trăiască de pe urma Evangheliei. 15 Însă eu nu m-am folosit de nici unul dintre aceste drepturi. Şi nu v-am scris aceste lucruri ca să se facă aşa pentru mine. Într-adevăr, mai degrabă aş vrea să mor decât să mă lase cineva fără acest motiv de laudă! 16 Dacă eu vestesc Evanghelia, nu am dreptul[b] să mă laud, pentru că este obligaţia mea. Căci este vai de mine dacă nu vestesc Evanghelia! 17 Dacă o fac pentru că vreau eu, am o răsplată, dar dacă nu este din voia mea, atunci este vorba de o responsabilitate care mi-a fost încredinţată. 18 Deci, care este răsplata mea? Este să ofer fără plată Evanghelia pe care o vestesc şi astfel să nu mă folosesc de dreptul meu în Evanghelie.
19 Deşi sunt liber faţă de toţi, m-am făcut sclavul tuturor, pentru a-i câştiga pe cât mai mulţi. 20 Faţă de iudei, am fost ca un iudeu, pentru a-i câştiga pe iudei. Faţă de cei ce sunt sub Lege, am fost ca unul care este sub Lege, măcar că nu sunt sub Lege, pentru a-i câştiga pe cei de sub Lege. 21 Faţă de cei fără Lege, am fost ca unul fără Lege – măcar că nu sunt liber faţă de Legea lui Dumnezeu, ci sunt sub legea lui Cristos –, pentru a-i câştiga pe cei fără Lege. 22 Pentru cei care sunt slabi în credinţă, m-am făcut slab, pentru a-i câştiga pe cei slabi. M-am făcut toate pentru toţi, pentru ca, oricum, să-i mântuiesc pe unii dintre ei. 23 Pe toate le fac de dragul Evangheliei, ca să am şi eu parte de ea.
24 Nu ştiţi că toţi alergătorii din arenă încearcă să câştige, însă numai unul primeşte premiul? Alergaţi deci în aşa fel, încât să câştigaţi. 25 Alergătorii dau dovadă de stăpânire de sine în toate lucrurile, pentru a primi o cunună care se veştejeşte, însă noi facem aceasta pentru una care nu se veştejeşte. 26 Astfel, eu nu alerg fără ţintă, nici nu mă bat ca unul care loveşte în vânt, 27 ci îmi ţin trupul sub control şi mi-l fac sclav, ca nu cumva, după ce am predicat altora, eu însumi să fiu descalificat.

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.

Apostelns bruk av sin frihet
9 Är jag inte fri? Är jag inte apostel? Har jag inte sett Jesus, vår Herre? Är inte ni mitt verk i Herren? 2 Om jag inte är apostel för andra, så är jag det i alla fall för er. Ni själva är i Herren sigillet på mitt apostlaämbete.
3 Mitt försvar mot dem som anklagar mig är detta: 4 Har vi inte rätt till mat och dryck? 5 Har vi inte rätt att föra med oss en troende hustru, vi liksom de andra apostlarna och Herrens bröder och Kefas? 6 Eller är det bara jag och Barnabas som inte har rätt att vara fria från arbete? 7 Vem gör väl krigstjänst och betalar själv sina utgifter? Vem planterar en vingård utan att äta frukten från den? Eller vem vallar en hjord utan att få sin mjölk av den? 8 Är det bara som folk säger? Säger inte lagen samma sak? 9 Det står skrivet i Mose lag: Du skall inte binda för munnen på oxen som tröskar. [a] Är det oxarna Gud bekymrar sig om? 10 Säger han det inte för vår skull? Jo, för vår skull blev det skrivet att den som plöjer och den som tröskar skall göra det i hopp om att få sin del. 11 När vi har sått ett andligt utsäde bland er, är det då för mycket begärt att vi skördar något av ert jordiska goda? 12 Om andra har rätt att få del av det som är ert, har inte vi det ännu mer? Men vi har inte utnyttjat denna rättighet utan finner oss i allt för att inte lägga hinder i vägen för Kristi evangelium.
13 Vet ni inte att de som tjänstgör i templet äter av det som kommer från templet, och att de som gör tjänst vid altaret får sin del av det som offras på altaret? 14 Så har också Herren befallt[b] att de som predikar evangeliet skall leva av evangeliet. 15 Men jag för min del har inte utnyttjat en sådan förmån. Jag skriver inte detta för att jag skall få någon. Hellre vill jag dö än att någon tar min berömmelse ifrån mig. 16 Ty om jag predikar evangelium har jag inget att berömma mig av, eftersom jag är tvingad till det. Ve mig om jag inte predikar evangelium! 17 Om jag gjorde det frivilligt, hade jag ju lön. Men om jag gör det därför att jag är tvungen, så är jag betrodd med uppgiften som förvaltare.[c] 18 Vad har jag då för lön? Jo, att som förkunnare av evangelium få lägga fram det utan kostnad och inte utnyttja den rätt evangeliet ger mig.
19 Eftersom jag är fri och oberoende av alla, har jag gjort mig till allas tjänare för att vinna desto fler. 20 För judarna har jag blivit som en jude för att vinna judar. För dem som står under lagen har jag, som inte själv står under lagen, blivit som den som står under lagen för att vinna dem som står under lagen. 21 För dem som är utan lag har jag blivit som den som är utan lag, för att vinna dem som är utan lag, fast jag själv inte är utan Guds lag utan lever i Kristi lag. 22 För de svaga har jag blivit svag för att vinna de svaga. För alla har jag blivit allt, för att jag i varje fall skall frälsa några. 23 Allt gör jag för evangeliets skull, för att jag själv skall få del av det.
24 Vet ni inte att av alla löparna som springer på en tävlingsbana är det bara en som får priset? Spring så att ni vinner det. 25 Men alla som tävlar underkastar sig i allt hård träning - de för att vinna en segerkrans som vissnar, vi för att vinna en som aldrig vissnar. 26 Jag löper alltså inte utan att ha målet i sikte. Jag boxas inte likt en som slår i tomma luften. 27 I stället slår jag min kropp och tvingar den till lydnad, för att jag inte själv på något sätt skall komma till korta vid provet, när jag predikar för andra.

1 Corinthians 9
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)

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.
