Knijga O Kristu
Pavao se odriče svojih prava
9 Nisam li ja slobodan? Nisam li apostol? Nisam li vidio našega Gospodina Isusa vlastitim očima? Niste li vi u Gospodinu zbog mojega truda?
2 Ako me drugi i ne smatraju apostolom, vama to sigurno jesam jer ste vi živ dokaz za to.
3 To je odgovor onima koji osporavaju moje apostolstvo.
4 Nemamo li pravo jesti za vašim stolom?
5 Nemamo li pravo dovesti sa sobom ženu kršćanku,[a] kao što čine i drugi učenici, Gospodinova braća i Petar?[b]
6 Ili se samo Barnaba i ja moramo uzdržavati vlastitim radom?
7 Koji to vojnik vojuje o svojemu trošku? Tko sadi vinograd a da ne smije jesti njegova roda? Koji to pastir napasa stado a da ne smije piti mlijeka?
8 Ne govorim vam to samo po ljudsku, nego tako kaže i Božji zakon.
9 Jer u Mojsijevu zakonu piše: 'Ne zavezuj usta volu koji vrši žito.'[c] Mislite li da je Bog to rekao samo za volove?
10 Nije li to rekao i za nas? Naravno da jest. Kao što žeteoci i vršioci rade u nadi da će imati udjela u žetvi, tako i duhovne radnike trebaju namiriti oni kojima služe.
11 Zar je previše da mi, koji smo u vas sijali duhovna dobra, očekujemo požeti vaša tjelesna dobra?
12 Ako drugi na to imaju pravo, nemamo li mi i veće pravo? Ipak, nismo se njime koristili, nego sve podnosimo da ne postavimo kakvu zapreku Kristovoj Radosnoj vijesti.
13 Ne znate li da oni koji rade u Hramu dobiju od hrane koju ljudi donose u svetište i da oni koji služe pri žrtveniku dobiju dio žrtvenih prinosa?
14 Jednako je tako Gospodin naredio da oni koji navješćuju Radosnu vijest od nje i žive.
15 Ali ja se nikad nisam koristio tim pravom. I ne pišem vam to zato da bih to od sada činio. Radije bih umro nego se odrekao te odlike da propovijedam bez naplate.
16 Propovijedanjem Radosne vijesti ne mogu se hvaliti jer mi je to dužnost. Teško meni ako ju ne propovijedam!
17 Da to činim iz vlastite pobude, imao bih pravo na plaću. Ali ja samo vršim službu koju mi je Bog povjerio.
18 Što mi je dakle plaća? Zadovoljstvo da propovijedam Radosnu vijest besplatno ne iskorišćujući svoje propovjedničko pravo.
19 Iako sam slobodan i ne pripadam nikome, ipak sam svima postao robom, samo da ih što više pridobijem za Krista.
20 Kad sam bio sa židovima, bio sam židov da ih mogu dovesti Kristu. Kad sam bio s onima koji se drže židovskih zakona, i ja sam to činio, iako nisam vezan Zakonom, da ih mogu dovesti Kristu.
21 Kad sam bio s poganima koji nemaju Zakona, bio sam poput njih koliko sam god mogao. Tako sam stekao njihovo povjerenje i mogao ih dovesti Kristu, ali nisam zanemario Božji zakon, nego sam bio poslušan Kristovu zakonu.
22 S nejakima sam bio nejak da ih pridobijem za Krista. Svima njima bio sam sve ne bih li neke spasio.
23 A sve to činim zbog Radosne vijesti, da i ja budem njezinim dionikom.
24 Ne znate li da u trci svi trkači trče, a samo jedan osvoji prvu nagradu? I vi trčite tako da ju osvojite.
25 Svaki natjecatelj živi suzdržljivo. Oni to čine da dobiju vijenac koji će istrunuti, a mi da dobijemo nagradu koja će vječno trajati.
26 Trčim zato, ali uvijek prema cilju, a ne besciljno i uzaludno poput nekoga tko šakom udara vjetar.
27 Stegom morim svoje tijelo i tjeram ga poput roba da ne bih, pošto sam drugima propovijedao, sam bio odbačen.

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)

حُقُوقُ بُولُسَ الَّتِي يَتَخَلَّى عَنْهَا
9 ألَسْتُ أنَا حُرًّا؟ ألَسْتُ أنَا رَسُولًا؟ ألَمْ أرَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا؟ ألَسْتُمْ أنْتُمْ ثَمَرِي فِي الرَّبِّ؟ 2 وَإنْ كَانَ آخَرُونَ لَا يَعْتَبِرُونَنِي رَسُولًا، فَإنَّكُمْ تَعْتَبِرونني رَسولًا. فَأنْتُمُ الخَتمُ الَّذِي يُصَادِقُ عَلَى رَسُولِيَّتِي فِي الرَّبِّ.
3 وَدِفَاعِي لَدَى الَّذِينَ يَسْتَجْوِبُونَنِي هُوَ هَذَا: 4 ألَيْسَ لِي الحَقُّ فِي أنْ آكُلَ وَأشرَبَ؟ 5 ألَيْسَ لِي الحَقُّ فِي أنْ أصطَحِبَ مَعِي زَوْجَةً مُؤمِنَةً كَالرُّسُلِ الآخَرِينَ وَإخوَةِ الرَّبِّ وَبُطرُسَ؟ 6 أمْ أنَّنَا، بَرنَابَا وَأنَا، الوَحِيدَانِ اللَّذَانِ لَيْسَ لَنَا حَقٌّ فِي الامْتِنَاعِ عَنِ العَمَلِ لِنَكسِبَ قُوتَنَا؟ 7 مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَتَجَنَّدُ عَلَى نَفَقَتِهِ الخَاصَّةِ؟ وَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَزْرَعُ كَرْمًا وَلَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهِ؟ وَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَرْعَى قَطِيعًا مِنَ الأغْنَامِ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ مِنْ حَلِيبِ القَطِيعِ؟
8 ألَعَلِّي أتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ حَسَبَ تَفْكِيرِ النَّاسِ فَقَطْ؟ أفَلَا تَقُولُ الشَّرِيعَةُ هَذَا أيْضًا؟ 9 إذْ تَقُولُ شَرِيعَةُ مُوسَى: «لَا تُكَمِّمْ ثَوْرًا وَهُوَ يَدْرُسُ القَمْحَ.»[a] ألَعَلَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ اهتِمَامًا مِنْهُ بِالثِّيرَانِ؟ 10 ألَا يَقُولُ هَذَا بِكُلِّ تَأْكِيدٍ مِنْ أجْلِنَا نَحْنُ. فَالَّذِي يَحْرُثُ إنَّمَا يَحْرُثُ عَلَى رَجَاءِ الحُصُولِ عَلَى شَيءٍ، وَالَّذِي يَدْرُسُ المَحصُولَ يَدْرُسُ رَاجِيًا نَصِيبَهُ مِنْهُ. 11 وَنَحْنُ زَرَعْنَا بِذَارًا رُوحِيًّا مِنْ أجْلِكُمْ، فَهَلْ تَسْتَكْثِرُون أنْ نَحصُدَ أشْيَاءَ مَادِّيَّةً مِنْكُمْ؟ 12 فَإنْ كَانَ آخَرُونَ يُشَارِكُونَ فِي هَذَا الحَقِّ، أفَلَا نَكُونُ نَحْنُ أحَقَّ مِنْهُمْ؟ لَكِنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْتَخْدِمْ حَقَّنَا هَذَا. بَلْ إنَّنَا نَحتَمِلُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِئَلَّا نَضَعَ عَائِقًا فِي طَرِيقِ البِشَارَةِ عَنِ المَسِيحِ. 13 ألَا تَعْلَمُونَ أنَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الهَيْكَلِ يَحْصُلُونَ عَلَى طَعَامِهِمْ مِنَ الهَيْكَلِ؟ ألَا تَعْلَمُونَ أيْضًا أنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ بِانتِظَامٍ عِنْدَ المَذْبَحِ يَشْتَرِكُونَ مَعًا فِي مَا يُقَدَّمُ عَلَى المَذْبَحِ؟ 14 وَبِالمِثْلِ، فَإنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أمَرَ بِأنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَ بِالبِشَارَةِ، يَعِيشُونَ مِنْهَا.
15 غَيْرَ أنِّي لَمْ أستَفِدْ مِنْ أيٍّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الحُقُوقِ. وَلَمْ أكتُبْ هَذَا أمَلًا فِي أنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ لِي هَذَا، لِأنِّي أُفَضِّلُ المَوْتَ عَلَى أنْ يَنْتَزِعَ أحَدٌ مِنِّي سَبَبَ افتِخَارِي. 16 فَإنْ كُنْتُ أُعلِنُ بِشَارَةَ المَسِيحِ، فَلَيْسَ لِي فَضلٌ، لِأنَّ هَذَا هُوَ وَاجِبِي. فَوَيلٌ لِي إنْ كُنْتُ لَا أُبَشِّرُ! 17 فَلَو كُنْتُ أنَا الَّذِي اختَرْتُ هَذِهِ الخِدْمَةَ بِنَفْسِي، لَكُنْتُ أستَحِقُّ مُكَافَأةً. لَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي خَيَارٌ، فَأنَا أقُومُ بِمَهَمَّةٍ كَلَّفَنِي بِهَا اللهُ. 18 إذًا مَا هِيَ مُكَافَأتِي مُقَابِلَ ذَلِكَ؟ إنَّهَا إعلَانُ البِشَارَةِ مَجَّانًا، لِئَلَّا أستَخْدِمَ حَقِّي فِي الحُصُولِ عَلَى أجرٍ مِنَ التَّبشِيرِ.
19 صَحِيحٌ أنَّنِي حُرٌّ وَلَسْتُ تَحْتَ سُلطَةِ أحَدٍ، إلَّا أنَّنِي جَعَلْتُ نَفْسِي خَادِمًا لِجَمِيعِ النَّاسِ لِكَي أربَحَ أكبَرَ عَدَدٍ مُمْكِنٍ. 20 فَقَدْ صِرتُ لِليَهُودِ كَيَهُودِيٍّ لِكَي أربَحَ اليَهُودَ. صِرتُ لِلَّذِينَ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ كَمَنْ هُوَ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، رُغْمَ أنِّي لَسْتُ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ. وَهَدَفِي هُوَ أنْ أربَحَ الَّذِينَ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ. 21 وَصِرتُ لِلَّذِينَ بِلَا شَرِيعَةٍ كَمَنْ هُوَ بِلَا شَرِيعَةٍ، رُغْمَ أنِّي لَسْتُ بِلَا شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ، لِأنِّي خَاضِعٌ لِشَرِيعَةِ المَسِيحِ. وَهَدَفِي هُوَ أنْ أربَحَ الَّذِينَ بِلَا شَرِيعَةٍ. 22 صِرتُ لِلضُّعَفَاءِ ضَعِيفًا لِكَي أربَحَ الضُّعَفَاءَ. صِرتُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِكُلِّ إنْسَانٍ، لِكَي أربَحَ بَعْضَ النَّاسَ بِكُلِّ وَسِيلَةٍ مُمْكِنَةٍ. 23 وَأنَا مُسْتَعِدٌّ أنْ أفعَلَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ مِنْ أجْلِ بِشَارَةِ المَسِيحِ، لِكَي أشتَرِكَ فِي بَرَكَاتِهِا.
24 ألَا تَعْرِفُونَ أنَّ العَدَّائِينَ فِي المَيدَانِ يُشَارِكُونَ كُلُّهُمْ فِي السِّبَاقِ، وَوَاحِدٌ فَقَطْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَفُوزُ بِالجَائِزَةِ. فَاركُضُوا أنْتُمْ لِكَي تَفُوزُوا. 25 وَتَذكَّرُوا أنَّ كُلَّ مُتَنَافِسٍ يُخضِعُ نَفْسَهُ لِلتَّدرِيبِ الصَّارِمِ. وَهُمْ إنَّمَا يَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا لِكَي يَفُوزُوا بِإكلِيلٍ فَانٍ، أمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَنَفُوزُ بِإكلِيلٍ لَا يَفْنَى. 26 هَكَذَا إذًا أنَا أركُضُ كَمُتَسَابِقٍ لَدَيهِ هَدَفٌ. وَهَكَذَا أُلَاكِمُ، لَا كَمَنْ يُسَدِّدُ ضَرَبَاتٍ فِي الهَوَاءِ، 27 بَلْ أقسُو عَلَى جَسَدِي وَأُخْضِعُهُ، لِئَلَّا أصِيرَ أنَا نَفْسِي، بَعْدَ أنْ بَشَّرْتُ الآخَرِينَ، غَيْرَ مُؤهَّلٍ لِنَوَالِ الجَائِزَةِ!

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.
