哥林多前书 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？你们不是我在主里面所做之工吗？

wǒ bú shì zì yóu de ma ？ wǒ bú shì shǐ tú ma ？ wǒ bú shì jiàn guò wǒ men de zhǔ yē sū ma ？ nǐ men bú shì wǒ zài zhǔ lǐ miàn suǒ zuò zhī gōng ma ？

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?

假若在别人，我不是使徒，在你们，我总是使徒，因为你们在主里正是我作使徒的印证。

jiǎ ruò zài bié rén ， wǒ bú shì shǐ tú ， zài nǐ men ， wǒ zǒng shì shǐ tú ， yīn wèi nǐ men zài zhǔ lǐ zhèng shì wǒ zuò shǐ tú de yìn zhèng 。

If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

我对那盘问我的人就是这样分诉：

wǒ duì nà pán wèn wǒ de rén jiù shì zhè yàng fēn sù ：

My defense to those who examine me is this:

难道我们没有权柄靠福音吃喝吗？

nán dào wǒ men méi yǒu quán bǐng kào fú yīn chī hē ma ？

Have we no right to eat and to drink?

难道我们没有权柄娶信主的姊妹为妻，带着一同往来，仿佛其余的使徒和主的弟兄并矶法一样吗？

nán dào wǒ men méi yǒu quán bǐng qǔ xìn zhǔ de zǐ mèi wèi qī ， dài zhe yì tóng wǎng lái ， fǎng fú qí yú de shǐ tú hé zhǔ de dì xiong bìng jī fǎ yí yàng ma ？

Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

独有我与巴拿巴没有权柄不做工吗？

dú yǒu wǒ yǔ bā ná bā méi yǒu quán bǐng bú zuò gōng ma ？

Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?

有谁当兵自备粮饷呢？有谁栽葡萄园不吃园里的果子呢？有谁牧养牛羊不吃牛羊的奶呢？

yǒu shuí dāng bīng zì bèi liáng xiǎng ne ？ yǒu shuí zāi pú táo yuán bù chī yuán lǐ de guǒ zǐ ne ？ yǒu shuí mù yǎng niú yáng bù chī niú yáng de nǎi ne ？

What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?

我说这话，岂是照人的意见；律法不也是这样说吗？

wǒ shuō zhè huà ， qǐ shì zhào rén de yì jiàn ； lǜ fǎ bù yě shì zhè yàng shuō ma ？

Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?

就如摩西的律法记着说：「牛在场上踹谷的时候，不可笼住它的嘴。」难道 神所挂念的是牛吗？

jiù rú mó xī de lǜ fǎ jì zhe shuō ：「 niú zài chǎng shàng chuài gǔ de shí hòu ， bù kě lóng zhù tā de zuǐ 。」 nán dào shén suǒ guà niàn de shì niú ma ？

For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,

不全是为我们说的吗？分明是为我们说的。因为耕种的当存着指望去耕种；打场的也当存得粮的指望去打场。

bù quán shì wèi wǒ men shuō de ma ？ fēn míng shì wèi wǒ men shuō de 。 yīn wèi gēng zhòng de dāng cún zhe zhǐ wàng qù gēng zhòng ； dǎ cháng de yě dāng cún dé liáng de zhǐ wàng qù dǎ cháng 。

or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.

我们若把属灵的种子撒在你们中间，就是从你们收割奉养肉身之物，这还算大事吗？

wǒ men ruò bǎ shǔ líng de zhǒng zi sā zài nǐ men zhōng jiān ， jiù shì cóng nǐ men shōu gē fèng yǎng ròu shēn zhī wù ， zhè hái suàn dà shì ma ？

If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?

若别人在你们身上有这权柄，何况我们呢？ 然而，我们没有用过这权柄，倒凡事忍受，免得基督的福音被阻隔。

ruò bié rén zài nǐ men shēn shàng yǒu zhè quán bǐng ， hé kuàng wǒ men ne ？ rán ér ， wǒ men méi yǒu yòng guò zhè quán bǐng ， dǎo fán shì rěn shòu ， miǎn de jī dū de fú yīn bèi zǔ gé 。

If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

你们岂不知为圣事劳碌的就吃殿中的物吗？伺候祭坛的就分领坛上的物吗？

nǐ men qǐ bù zhī wèi shèng shì láo lù de jiù chī diàn zhōng de wù ma ？ cì hou jì tán de jiù fēn lǐng tán shàng de wù ma ？

Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

主也是这样命定，叫传福音的靠着福音养生。

zhǔ yě shì zhè yàng mìng dìng ， jiào chuán fú yīn de kào zhe fú yīn yǎng shēng 。

Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.

但这权柄我全没有用过。我写这话，并非要你们这样待我，因为我宁可死也不叫人使我所夸的落了空。

dàn zhè quán bǐng wǒ quán méi yǒu yòng guò 。 wǒ xiě zhè huà ， bìng fēi yào nǐ men zhè yàng dài wǒ ， yīn wèi wǒ nìng kě sǐ yě bú jiào rén shǐ wǒ suǒ kuā de luò le kōng 。

But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.

我传福音原没有可夸的，因为我是不得已的。若不传福音，我便有祸了。

wǒ chuán fú yīn yuán méi yǒu kě kuā de ， yīn wèi wǒ shì bù dé yǐ de 。 ruò bù chuán fú yīn ， wǒ biàn yǒu huò le 。

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.

我若甘心做这事，就有赏赐；若不甘心，责任却已经托付我了。

wǒ ruò gān xīn zuò zhè shì ， jiù yǒu shǎng cì ； ruò bù gān xīn ， zé rèn què yǐ jīng tuō fù wǒ le 。

For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

既是这样，我的赏赐是什么呢？就是我传福音的时候叫人不花钱得福音，免得用尽我传福音的权柄。

jì shì zhè yàng ， wǒ de shǎng cì shì shén me ne ？ jiù shì wǒ chuán fú yīn de shí hòu jiào rén bù huā qián dé fú yīn ， miǎn de yòng jìn wǒ chuán fú yīn de quán bǐng 。

What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

我虽是自由的，无人辖管；然而我甘心作了众人的仆人，为要多得人。

wǒ suī shì zì yóu de ， wú rén xiá guǎn ； rán ér wǒ gān xīn zuò le zhòng rén de pú rén ， wèi yào duō dé rén 。

For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

向犹太人，我就作犹太人，为要得犹太人；向律法以下的人，我虽不在律法以下，还是作律法以下的人，为要得律法以下的人。

xiàng yóu tài rén ， wǒ jiù zuò yóu tài rén ， wèi yào dé yóu tài rén ； xiàng lǜ fǎ yǐ xià de rén ， wǒ suī bú zài lǜ fǎ yǐ xià ， hái shì zuò lǜ fǎ yǐ xià de rén ， wèi yào dé lǜ fǎ yǐ xià de rén 。

To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

向没有律法的人，我就作没有律法的人，为要得没有律法的人；其实我在 神面前，不是没有律法；在基督面前，正在律法之下。

xiàng méi yǒu lǜ fǎ de rén ， wǒ jiù zuò méi yǒu lǜ fǎ de rén ， wèi yào dé méi yǒu lǜ fǎ de rén ； qí shí wǒ zài shén miàn qián ， bú shì méi yǒu lǜ fǎ ； zài jī dū miàn qián ， zhèng zài lǜ fǎ zhī xià 。

to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.

向软弱的人，我就作软弱的人，为要得软弱的人。向什么样的人，我就作什么样的人。无论如何，总要救些人。

xiàng ruǎn ruò de rén ， wǒ jiù zuò ruǎn ruò de rén ， wèi yào dé ruǎn ruò de rén 。 xiàng shén me yàng de rén ， wǒ jiù zuò shén me yàng de rén 。 wú lùn rú hé ， zǒng yào jiù xiē rén 。

To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.

凡我所行的，都是为福音的缘故，为要与人同得这福音的好处。

fán wǒ suǒ xíng de ， dōu shì wèi fú yīn de yuán gù ， wèi yào yǔ rén tóng dé zhè fú yīn de hǎo chù 。

Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑，但得奖赏的只有一人？你们也当这样跑，好叫你们得着奖赏。

qǐ bù zhī zài chǎng shàng sài pǎo de dōu pǎo ， dàn dé jiǎng shǎng de zhǐ yǒu yì rén ？ nǐ men yě dāng zhè yàng pǎo ， hǎo jiào nǐ men dé zhe jiǎng shǎng 。

Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.

凡较力争胜的，诸事都有节制，他们不过是要得能坏的冠冕；我们却是要得不能坏的冠冕。

fán jiào lì zhēng shèng de ， zhū shì dōu yǒu jié zhì ， tā men bú guò shì yào dé néng huài de guān miǎn ； wǒ men què shì yào dé bù néng huài de guān miǎn 。

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

所以，我奔跑不像无定向的；我斗拳不像打空气的。

suǒ yǐ ， wǒ bēn pǎo bú xiàng wú dìng xiàng de ； wǒ dòu quán bú xiàng dǎ kōng qì de 。

I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,

我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我传福音给别人，自己反被弃绝了。

wǒ shì gōng kè jǐ shēn ， jiào shēn fú wǒ ， kǒng pà wǒ chuán fú yīn gěi bié rén ， zì jǐ fǎn bèi qì jué le 。

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
