1 Corinthians:Chapter 9

格林多前書	1 Corinthians
¹我不是自由的嗎？我不是宗徒嗎？我不是見過我們的主耶穌嗎？你們不是我在主內所建的工程嗎？	¹Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?
²縱然我為別人不是宗徒，為你們我總是，因為你們在主內正是我任宗徒職分的印證。	²And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
³這也就是我對那些質問我的人的答辯。	³My defence with them that do examine me is this.
⁴難道我們沒有取得飲食的權利嗎？	⁴Have not we power to eat and to drink?
⁵難道我們沒有權利攜帶一位為姊妹的婦人，如其他的宗徒及主的弟兄並刻法一樣嗎？	⁵Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
⁶或者，唯有我和巴爾納伯沒有不勞作的權利嗎？	⁶Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
⁷誰當兵而自備糧餉呢？誰種植葡萄園而不吃它的出產呢？或者，誰牧放羊群而不吃羊群的奶呢？	⁷Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
⁸我說這話，難道是按人之常情？法律不是也這樣說嗎？	⁸Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?
⁹原來梅瑟法律上記載說：「牛在打場的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。」難道天主所關心的是牛嗎？	⁹For 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豈不是完全為我們說的嗎？的確是為我們記載的，因為犂地的當懷着希望去犂，打場的也當懷着有分的希望去打場。	¹⁰Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
¹¹若是我們給你們散播神聖的恩惠，而收割你們那屬物質的東西，還算什麼大事？	¹¹If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?
¹²如果別人在你們身上尚且分享權利，我們豈不更該嗎？可是我們沒有用過這權利，反倒忍受了一切，免得基督的福音受到妨礙。	¹²If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
¹³你們豈不知道為聖事服務的，就靠聖殿生活；供職於祭壇的，就分享祭壇上的物品嗎？	¹³Know you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the altar?
¹⁴主也這樣規定了，傳福音的人，應靠福音而生活。	¹⁴So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.
¹⁵可是，這些權利我一樣也沒有用過；我寫這話，並非要人這樣對待我，因為我寧願死，也不願讓人使我這誇耀落了空。	¹⁵But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die, rather than that any man should make my glory void.
¹⁶我若傳福音，原沒有什麼可誇耀的，因為這是我不得已的事；我若不傳福音，我就有禍了。	¹⁶For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me, for a necessity lieth upon me: for woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.
¹⁷假使我自願作這事，便有報酬；若不自願，可是責任已委託給我。	¹⁷For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:
¹⁸這樣看來，我的報酬是什麼呢？就是傳佈福音時白白地去傳，不享用我在傳福音上所有的權利。	¹⁸What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
¹⁹我原是自由的，不屬於任何人；但我卻使自己成了眾人的奴僕，為贏得更多的人。	¹⁹For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.
²⁰對猶太人，我就成為猶太人，為贏得猶太人；對於在法律下的人，我雖不在法律下，仍成為在法律下的人，為贏得那在法律下的人；	²⁰And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
²¹對那些法律以外的人，我就成為法律以外的人，為贏得那些法律以外的人；其實，我並不在天主的法律以外，而是在基督的法律之下。	²¹To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.
²²對軟弱的人，我就成為軟弱的，為贏得那軟弱的人；對一切人，我就成為一切，為的是總要救些人。	²²To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
²³我所行的一切，都是為了福音，為能與人共沾福音的恩許。	²³And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.
²⁴你們豈不知道在運動場上賽跑的，固然都跑，但只有一個得獎賞嗎？你們也應該這樣跑，好能得到獎賞。	²⁴Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.
²⁵凡比武競賽的，在一切事上都有節制；他們只是為得到可朽壞的花冠，而我們卻是為得到不朽壞的花冠。	²⁵And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.
²⁶所以我總是這樣跑，不是如同無定向的；我這樣打拳，不是如同打空氣的；	²⁶I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:
²⁷我痛擊我身，使它為奴，免得我給別人報捷，自己反而落選。	²⁷But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
