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.

Paul Gives Up His Rights
9 Am I not as free as anyone else? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord with my own eyes? Isn’t it because of my work that you belong to the Lord? 2 Even if others think I am not an apostle, I certainly am to you. You yourselves are proof that I am the Lord’s apostle.
3 This is my answer to those who question my authority.[a] 4 Don’t we have the right to live in your homes and share your meals? 5 Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife[b] with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter[c] does? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to work to support ourselves?
7 What soldier has to pay his own expenses? What farmer plants a vineyard and doesn’t have the right to eat some of its fruit? What shepherd cares for a flock of sheep and isn’t allowed to drink some of the milk? 8 Am I expressing merely a human opinion, or does the law say the same thing? 9 For the law of Moses says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.”[d] Was God thinking only about oxen when he said this? 10 Wasn’t he actually speaking to us? Yes, it was written for us, so that the one who plows and the one who threshes the grain might both expect a share of the harvest.
11 Since we have planted spiritual seed among you, aren’t we entitled to a harvest of physical food and drink? 12 If you support others who preach to you, shouldn’t we have an even greater right to be supported? But we have never used this right. We would rather put up with anything than be an obstacle to the Good News about Christ.
13 Don’t you realize that those who work in the temple get their meals from the offerings brought to the temple? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings. 14 In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it. 15 Yet I have never used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that I want to start now. In fact, I would rather die than lose my right to boast about preaching without charge. 16 Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach the Good News!
17 If I were doing this on my own initiative, I would deserve payment. But I have no choice, for God has given me this sacred trust. 18 What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That’s why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.
19 Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. 20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. 21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law,[e] I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.
22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. 23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

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)

使徒的权利
9 我不是自由的吗？我不是使徒吗？我不是见过我们的主耶稣吗？你们不是我在主里工作的成果吗？ 2 即使对别人来说我不是使徒，对你们来说我也是使徒，因为你们就是我在主里做使徒的印证。
3 对那些责难我的人，我的答复是这样： 4 难道我们没有权利接受弟兄姊妹供应的饮食吗？ 5 难道我们没有权利像主的兄弟、彼得和其他使徒一样，娶信主的姊妹为妻，一同出入吗？ 6 难道只有我和巴拿巴要自食其力吗？ 7 有谁当兵要自备粮饷呢？有谁栽种葡萄园，却不吃园中出产的葡萄呢？有谁牧养牛羊，却不喝牛羊的奶呢？
8 我这样说难道只是人的观点吗？律法不也是这样说的吗？ 9 摩西的律法书上说：“牛在踩谷时，不可笼住它的嘴。”难道上帝关心的只是牛吗？ 10 祂这样说难道不是为了我们吗？这话的确是为我们写的，因为耕耘的和打谷的农夫都应该存着分享收成的盼望劳作。 11 既然我们在你们中间撒下了属灵的种子，难道就不能从你们那里得到物质上的收获吗？ 12 如果别人有权要求你们供应他们，我们岂不更有权吗？可是我们从来没有用过这权利，反而凡事忍耐，免得妨碍了基督的福音。
13 你们难道不知道，在圣殿里事奉的人可以吃圣殿里的食物，在祭坛前事奉的人可以分享祭坛上的祭物吗？ 14 同样，主也曾吩咐：传福音的人理当借着福音得到生活的供应。
15 但是，我完全没有使用这权利，如今我谈这些事，并不是要你们这样待我。因为我宁死也不要让人抹杀我所夸耀的。 16 其实我传福音并没有什么可夸的，因为这是我的任务，我不传福音就有祸了！ 17 我若甘心乐意地传福音，就可以得奖赏；我若不甘愿，责任也已经委托给我了。 18 我能得到什么奖赏呢？就是我可以把福音白白地传给人，不使用自己因传福音而应有的权利。
19 我虽然是自由之身，不受任何人支配，但我甘愿成为众人的奴仆，为了要得到更多的人。 20 面对犹太人我就做犹太人，为了要赢得犹太人。面对守律法的人，我这不受律法束缚的人就守律法，为了要赢得守律法的人。 21 面对没有律法的人，我就像个没有律法的人，为了要赢得没有律法的人。其实我并非在上帝的律法之外，我是在基督的律法之下。 22 面对软弱的人我就做软弱的人，为了要得软弱的人。面对什么人，我就做什么人，为了要尽可能地救一些人。 23 我做的一切都是为了福音的缘故，为了要与人分享福音的祝福。
24 你们不知道吗？在运动场上赛跑的人虽然个个都在跑，但冠军只有一个。同样，你们也要努力奔跑，好获得奖赏。 25 参加比赛的选手要接受严格的训练，以求赢得桂冠，但这桂冠终必朽坏，我们要赢得的却是永不朽坏的桂冠。 26 因此，我奔跑不是漫无目标，我击拳不是打空气。 27 我严格训练自己，克服自身的软弱，免得我传福音给别人，自己却被淘汰了。
1 Corinthians 9
King James Version
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.
