Pablo defiende su apostolado

9 ¿No soy libre(A)? ¿No soy apóstol(B)? ¿No he visto a Jesús nuestro Señor(C)? ¿No son ustedes mi obra en el Señor(D)? 2 Si para otros no soy apóstol, por lo menos para ustedes sí lo soy; pues ustedes son el sello(E) de mi apostolado(F) en el Señor.

3 Mi defensa contra[a] los que me examinan es esta: 4 ¿Acaso no[b] tenemos derecho a comer y beber(G)? 5 ¿No[c] tenemos derecho a llevar con nosotros una esposa creyente[d](H), así como los demás apóstoles y los hermanos del Señor(I) y Cefas[e](J)? 6 ¿O acaso solo Bernabé(K) y yo[f] no tenemos el derecho a no trabajar? 7 ¿Quién ha servido alguna vez como soldado(L) a sus propias expensas? ¿Quién planta una viña y no come de su fruto(M)? ¿O quién cuida un rebaño y no bebe[g] de la leche del rebaño?

8 ¿Acaso digo esto según el juicio humano[h](N)? ¿No dice también la ley esto mismo? 9 Pues en la ley de Moisés está escrito: «No pondrás bozal al buey cuando trilla(O)». ¿Acaso le preocupan a Dios los bueyes(P)? 10 ¿O lo dice especialmente por nosotros? Sí, se escribió por nosotros(Q), porque el que ara debe arar con esperanza, y el que trilla debe trillar con la esperanza de recibir de la cosecha(R).

11 Si en ustedes sembramos lo espiritual, ¿será demasiado que de ustedes cosechemos lo material(S)? 12 Si otros tienen este derecho sobre ustedes, ¿no lo tenemos aún más nosotros? Sin embargo, no hemos usado este derecho(T), sino que sufrimos todo para no causar estorbo(U) al evangelio de Cristo(V).

13 ¿No saben(W) que los que desempeñan los servicios sagrados comen la comida del templo, y los que regularmente sirven al altar, del altar reciben su parte(X)? 14 Así también ordenó el Señor que los que proclaman el evangelio(Y), vivan del evangelio(Z). 15 Pero yo de nada de esto me he aprovechado[i](AA). Y no escribo esto para que así se haga conmigo. Porque mejor me fuera morir, que permitir que alguien me prive de esta gloria[j](AB).

16 Porque si predico el evangelio, no tengo nada de qué gloriarme, pues estoy bajo el deber(AC) de hacerlo. Pues ¡ay de mí si no predico el evangelio(AD)! 17 Porque si hago esto voluntariamente, tengo recompensa(AE); pero si lo hago en contra de mi voluntad, un encargo(AF) se me ha confiado. 18 ¿Cuál es, entonces, mi recompensa(AG)? Que al predicar el evangelio, pueda ofrecerlo[k] gratuitamente(AH) sin hacer pleno uso de mi derecho(AI) como predicador del evangelio.

Celo evangelizador de Pablo

19 Porque aunque soy libre(AJ) de todos, de todos me he hecho esclavo(AK) para ganar(AL) al mayor número posible. 20 A los judíos me hice como judío, para poder ganar a los judíos. A los que están bajo la ley, como bajo la ley(AM), aunque yo no estoy bajo la ley(AN), para poder ganar a los que están bajo la ley. 21 A los que están sin ley(AO), como sin ley(AP), aunque no estoy[l] sin la ley de Dios, sino bajo la ley de Cristo(AQ), para poder ganar a los que están sin ley. 22 A los débiles me hice débil(AR), para ganar a los débiles. A todos me he hecho todo(AS), para que por todos los medios salve a algunos(AT). 23 Y todo lo hago por amor del evangelio, para ser partícipe de él.

Disciplina personal de Pablo

24 ¿No saben(AU) que los que corren en el estadio, todos en verdad corren, pero solo uno obtiene el premio(AV)? Corran(AW) de tal modo que ganen. 25 Y todo el que compite(AX) en los juegos se abstiene de todo. Ellos lo hacen para recibir una corona(AY) corruptible, pero nosotros, una incorruptible. 26 Por tanto, yo de esta manera corro(AZ), no como sin tener meta; de esta manera peleo, no como dando golpes al aire(BA), 27 sino que golpeo[m] mi cuerpo(BB) y lo hago mi esclavo, no sea que habiendo predicado a otros, yo mismo sea descalificado.

English Standard Version

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.

Първо Коринтяни 9
1940 Bulgarian Bible

9 Не съм ли свободен? Не съм ли апостол? Не видях ли Исуса, нашия Господ? Не сте ли вие моето дело в Господа?

2 На други, ако не съм апостол, то поне на вас съм; защото в Господа вие сте печата на моето апостолство.

3 Ето моето оправдание пред тия, които изпитват <поведението> ми:

4 Нямаме ли право да ядем и да пием <за сметка на църквите?>

5 Нямаме ли право <и ние>, както другите апостоли, и братята на Господа, и Кифа, да водим жена от сестрите?

6 Или само аз и Варнава нямаме право да не работим <за прехраната си?>

7 Кой войник служи някога на свои разноски? Кой насажда лозе и не яде плода му? Или кой пасе стадо и не яде от млякото на стадото?

8 По човешки ли говоря това? Или не казва същото и законът?

9 Защото в Моисеевия закон е писано: "Да не обвързваш устата на вола, когато вършее". За воловете ли <тук> се грижи Бог,

10 или <го казва> несъмнено заради нас? Да; заради нас е писано това; защото който оре, с надежда трябва да оре; и който вършее, <трябва да вършее> с надежда, че ще участвува в плода.

11 Ако ние сме посели у вас духовното, голямо нещо ли е, ако пожънем от вас телесното?

12 Ако други участвуват в <това> право над вас, не участвуваме ли ние повече? Обаче, ние не използувахме това право, но търпим всичко, за да не причиним някакво препятствие на Христовото благовестие.

13 Не знаете ли, че тия, които свещенодействуват, се хранят от светилището? и че тия, които служат на олтара, вземат дял от олтара?

14 Така и Господ е наредил, щото проповедниците на благовестието да живеят от благовестието.

15 Но аз не съм използувал ни една от тия <наредби>, нито пиша това, за да се направи за мене така; защото за мене е по-добре да умра, отколкото да осуети някой моята похвала.

16 Защото, ако проповядвам благовестието, няма с какво да се похваля; понеже нужда ми се налага; защото горко ми ако не благовествувам.

17 Понеже, ако върша това доброволно, имам награда, но ако с принуждение, то само <изпълнявам> повереното ми настойничество:

18 И тъй, каква е моята награда? <Тая> че, като проповядвам евангелието, да мога да направя благовестието безплатно, така щото да не използувам напълно моето право в благовестието.

19 Защото, при все че съм свободен от всичките <човеци>, аз заробих себе си на всички, за да придобия мнозината.

20 На юдеите станах като юдеин, за да придобия юдеи; на тия, които са под закон, <станах> като под закон, (при все че сам аз не съм под закон), за да придобия тия, които са под закон.

21 На тия, които нямат закон, <станах> като че нямам закон, (при все че не съм без закон спрямо Христа), за да придобия тия, които нямат закон.

22 На слабите станах слаб, за да придобия слабите. На всички станах всичко, та по всякакъв начин да спася неколцина.

23 Всичко <това> върша заради благовестието, за да участвувам и аз в него.

24 Не знаете ли, че, които тичат на игрището, всички тичат, а <само> един получава наградата? Така тичайте, щото да <я> получите.

25 И всеки, който се подвизава, се въздържа от всичко. Те <вършат това> за да получат тленен венец, а ние нетленен.

26 И тъй, аз така тичам, не като към нещо неизвестно; така удрям, не като че бия въздуха;

27 но уморявам тялото си и го поробвам, да не би, като съм проповядвал на другите, сам аз да стана неодобрен.

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)
