Mga Karapatan at Tungkulin ng Isang Apostol
9 Hindi ba ako malaya? Hindi ba ako apostol? Hindi ba't nakita ko si Jesus na ating Panginoon? Hindi ba kayo ang bunga ng aking paglilingkod sa kanya? 2 Ang iba'y ayaw kilalanin ang aking pagka-apostol, subalit para sa inyo, ako'y isang apostol, at kayo ang katibayang ako'y apostol nga ng Panginoon.
3 Ito ang sagot ko sa mga pumupuna sa akin. 4 Wala ba kaming karapatang tustusan ng iglesya sa aming pangangailangan?[a] 5 Wala ba kaming karapatang magsama ng asawang Cristiano, tulad ng ginagawa ng ibang mga apostol, at ng mga kapatid ng Panginoon, at gayundin ni Pedro? 6 Kami lamang ba ni Bernabe ang walang karapatang tumigil sa paghahanapbuhay? 7 Ang kawal ba ang gumagastos para sa kanyang pangangailangan habang naglilingkod siya? Sinong tao ang nagtatanim ng ubas at hindi nakikinabang sa mga bunga nito? Sinong pastol ang nag-aalaga ng tupa at hindi nakikinabang sa gatas nito?
8 Ang sinasabi ko ay hindi nababatay sa kaisipan lamang ng tao. Ganoon din ang sinasabi ng Kautusan. 9 Sapagkat(A) nasusulat sa Kautusan ni Moises, “Huwag mong bubusalan ang bibig ng baka habang ito'y gumigiik.” Mga baka nga kaya ang inaalala ng Diyos? 10 Hindi ba tayo ang tinutukoy niya? Alang-alang sa atin kaya iyon isinulat, sapagkat ang magsasakang nag-aararo at ang naghihiwalay ng mga butil sa uhay ay gumagawa sa pag-asang may bahagi sila sa aanihin. 11 Naghasik(B) kami sa inyo ng pagpapalang espirituwal; malaking bagay ba naman kung umani kami ng mga materyal na pakinabang mula sa inyo? 12 Kung ang iba'y may ganitong karapatan, lalo na kami!
Ngunit hindi namin ginamit ang karapatang ito. Tiniis namin ang lahat upang hindi kami maging hadlang sa Magandang Balita tungkol kay Cristo. 13 Hindi(C) ba ninyo alam na ang mga naglilingkod sa Templo ay tumatanggap ng pagkain mula sa Templo, at ang mga naglilingkod sa dambana ay may bahagi sa mga handog na nasa dambana? 14 Sa(D) ganyan ding paraan, ipinag-utos ng Panginoon na ang mga nangangaral ng Magandang Balita ay dapat matustusan ang ikabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng Magandang Balita.
15 Ngunit hindi ko ginamit ang alinman sa mga karapatang ito, at hindi ko kayo sinusulatan ngayon upang hingan ng tulong. Mas iibigin ko pang mamatay kaysa mawala sa akin ang bagay na maipagmamalaki ko! 16 Hindi ngayo't nangangaral ako ng Magandang Balita ay maaari na akong magmalaki. Sapagkat iyan ay tungkuling iniatang sa akin, sumpain ako kung hindi ko ipangaral ang Magandang Balita! 17 Kung ginagawa ko ito nang kusang-loob, ako'y may maaasahang kabayaran, ngunit ginagawa ko ito bilang pagtupad sa tungkuling ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng Diyos. 18 Ano ngayon ang aking kabayaran? Ang maipangaral ko nang walang-bayad ang Magandang Balita, at ang hindi ko paggamit ng karapatang nauukol sa akin bilang tagapangaral.
19 Malaya ako at di alipin ninuman; ngunit nagpaalipin ako sa lahat upang makahikayat ako ng mas marami sa Panginoon. 20 Sa piling ng mga Judio, ako'y namuhay tulad ng isang Judio upang mahikayat ko sila. Kahit hindi ako saklaw ng Kautusan, nagpailalim ako rito alang-alang sa mga nasa ilalim ng Kautusan, upang mailapit ko sila sa Diyos. 21 Sa piling naman ng mga Hentil, na hindi saklaw ng Kautusan, ako'y naging parang Hentil upang sila'y mahikayat ko rin. Subalit hindi ito nangangahulugang hindi ko sinusunod ang mga utos ng Diyos, sapagkat ako'y nasa ilalim ng kautusan ni Cristo. 22 Sa piling ng mahihina, ako'y naging parang mahina rin upang mahikayat ko sila. Ako'y nakibagay sa lahat ng tao upang sa lahat ng paraan ay makapagligtas ako ng kahit ilan man lamang.
23 Ginagawa ko ang lahat ng ito alang-alang sa Magandang Balita, upang makabahagi ako sa mga pagpapala nito. 24 Alam ninyong ang mga kalahok sa paligsahan ay tumatakbong lahat, ngunit iisa lamang ang nagkakamit ng gantimpala! Kaya't pagbutihin ninyo ang pagtakbo upang kamtan ninyo ang gantimpala. 25 Lahat(E) ng manlalarong nagsasanay ay may disiplina sa lahat ng bagay upang magkamit ng isang gantimpalang panandalian lamang. Ngunit ang gantimpalang hinahangad natin ay panghabang panahon. 26 Hindi ako tumatakbo nang walang patutunguhan at hindi ako sumusuntok sa hangin. 27 Subalit pinahihirapan ko ang aking katawan at sinusupil ito, upang sa gayo'y hindi ako maalis sa paligsahan pagkatapos kong mangaral sa iba.

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。

Paul’s Example as an Apostle
9 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, for you are the seal(A) of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Don’t we have the right to eat and drink?(B) 5 Don’t we have the right to be accompanied by a Christian wife[a] like the other apostles,(C) the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?(D) 6 Or do Barnabas(E) and I alone have no right to refrain from working? 7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense?(F) Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not drink the milk from the flock? 8 Am I saying this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the law also say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox(G) while it treads out grain.(H)[b] Is God really concerned with oxen? 10 Or isn’t He really saying it for us? Yes, this is written for us,(I) because he who plows ought to plow in hope,(J) and he who threshes should do so in hope of sharing the crop.(K) 11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you? 12 If others have this right to receive benefits from you, don’t we even more?
However, we have not made use of this right; instead we endure everything(L) so that we will not hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Don’t you know that those who perform the temple services eat the food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar(M) share in the offerings of the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel.(N)
15 But I have used none of these rights, and I have not written this to make it happen that way for me. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast! 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because an obligation is placed on me. And woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted(O) with a stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? To preach the gospel and offer it free of charge and not make full use of my authority in the gospel.(P)
19 Although I am a free man and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win(Q) more people. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law[c]—to win those under the law.(R) 21 To those who are without that law,(S) like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.(T) 23 Now I do all this because of the gospel, so I may become a partner in its benefits.[d]
24 Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race,(U) but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.(V) 25 Now everyone who competes exercises self-control(W) in everything. However, they do it to receive a crown(X) that will fade away,(Y) but we a crown that will never fade away. 26 Therefore I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. 27 Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.(Z)

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)
