哥林多前書
第9章
|
1 Corinthians
Chapter 9
|
|
1 我不是使徒［apostle］嗎？我不是自由的［free］嗎？我不是見過我們的主耶穌基督［Christ］嗎？你們不是我在主裏面所做之工嗎？
|
1 Am1510 I not an apostle?652 am1510 I not free?1658 have I not seen3708 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our Lord?2962 are not you my work2041 in the Lord?2962
|
|
2 假若在別人，我不是使徒，在你們，我總是使徒，因為你們在主裏正是我作使徒的印證。
|
2 If1487 I be not an apostle652 to others,243 yet235 doubtless1065 I am1510 to you: for the seal4973 of my1699 apostleship651 are you in the Lord.2962
|
|
3 我對那盤問我的人就是這樣分訴：
|
3 My1699 answer627 to them that do examine350 me is this,3778
|
|
4 難道我們沒有權柄靠福音吃喝嗎？
|
4 Have2192 we not power1849 to eat5315 and to drink?4095
|
|
5 難道我們沒有權柄娶信主的姊妹為妻，帶著一同往來，彷彿其餘的使徒，又像［and as］主的弟兄並磯法一樣嗎？
|
5 Have2192 we not power1849 to lead4013 about4013 a sister,79 a wife,1135 as well2532 as other3062 apostles,652 and as the brothers80 of the Lord,2962 and Cephas?2786
|
|
6 獨有我與巴拿巴沒有權柄不作工嗎？
|
6 Or2228 I only3441 and Barnabas,921 have2192 not we power1849 to forbear3361 working?2038
|
|
7 有誰當兵自備糧餉呢？有誰栽葡萄園不吃園裏的果子呢？有誰牧養牛羊不吃牛羊的奶呢？
|
7 Who5100 goes a warfare4754 any4218 time4218 at4218 his own2398 charges?3800 who5100 plants5452 a vineyard,290 and eats2068 not of the fruit2590 thereof?846 or2228 who5100 feeds4165 a flock,4167 and eats2068 not of the milk1051 of the flock?4167
|
|
8 我說這些［these］話，豈是照人的意見；律法不也是這樣說嗎？
|
8 Say2980 I these5023 things as a man?444 or2228 said3004 not the law3551 the same5023 also?2532
|
|
9 就如摩西的律法記著說：「牛在場上踹穀的時候，你不可［Thou shalt not］籠住牠的嘴。」難道神所掛念的是牛嗎？
|
9 For it is written1125 in the law3551 of Moses,3475 You shall not muzzle5392 the mouth of the ox1016 that treads248 out the corn. Does God2316 take care3199 for oxen?1016
|
|
10 不全是為我們說的嗎？這記著的話［this is written］，分明是為我們說的。耕種的當存著盼望［hope］去耕種；打場的也當存得糧的盼望［hope］去打場。
|
10 Or2228 said3004 he it altogether3843 for our sakes? For our sakes, no1063 doubt,1063 this is written:1125 that he that plows722 should3784 plow722 in hope;1680 and that he that threshes248 in hope1680 should be partaker3348 of his hope.1680
|
|
11 我們若把屬靈的種子撒在你們中間，就是從你們收割奉養肉身之物，這還算大事嗎？
|
11 If1487 we have2192 sown4687 to you spiritual4152 things, is it a great3173 thing if1487 we shall reap2325 your5216 carnal4559 things?
|
|
12 若別人在你們身上有這權柄，我們又豈沒有呢［are not we rather］？然而，我們沒有用過這權柄，倒凡事忍受，免得基督的福音被阻隔。
|
12 If1487 others243 be partakers3348 of this3588 power1849 over you, are not we rather?3123 Nevertheless235 we have2192 not used5530 this5026 power;1849 but suffer4722 all3956 things, lest2443 3361 we should hinder5100 the gospel2098 of Christ.5547
|
|
13 你們豈不知為聖事勞碌的就靠殿中之物為生［live of the things of the temple］嗎？伺候祭壇的就分領壇上的物嗎？
|
13 Do you not know1492 that they which minister2038 about holy2413 things live2068 of the things of the temple?2411 and they which wait4332 at the altar2379 are partakers4829 with the altar?2379
|
|
14 主也是這樣命定，叫傳福音的靠著福音養生。
|
14 Even2532 so3779 has the Lord2962 ordained1299 that they which preach2605 the gospel2098 should live2198 of the gospel.2098
|
|
15 但這權柄我全沒有用過。我寫這些［these］話，並非要你們這樣待我，因為我寧可死也不叫人使我所誇的落了空。
|
15 But I have used5530 none3762 of these5130 things: neither have I written1125 these5023 things, that it should be so3779 done1096 to me: for it were better2570 3123 for me to die,599 than2228 that any5100 man should make2758 my glorying2745 void.2758
|
|
16 我傳福音原沒有可誇的，因為我是不得已的。若不傳福音，我便有禍了。
|
16 For though1437 I preach2097 the gospel,2097 I have2076 nothing3756 to glory2745 of: for necessity318 is laid1945 on me; yes,1161 woe3759 is to me, if1437 I preach2097 not the gospel!2097
|
|
17 我若甘心做這事，就有賞賜；若不甘心，傳福音的［dispensation of the gospel］責任卻已經託付我了。
|
17 For if1487 I do4238 this5124 thing willingly,1635 I have2192 a reward:3408 but if1487 against210 my will,210 a dispensation3622 of the gospel is committed4100 to me.
|
|
18 既是這樣，我的賞賜是甚麼呢？就必是［Verily that］我傳福音的時候叫人不花錢得基督的［Christ］福音，免得妄用［abuse］我傳福音的權柄。
|
18 What5101 is my reward3408 then?3767 Truly that, when I preach2097 the gospel,2097 I may make5087 the gospel2098 of Christ5547 without77 charge,77 that I abuse2710 not my power1849 in the gospel.2098
|
|
19 我雖是自由的，無人轄管；然而我甘心作了眾人的僕人，為要多得人。
|
19 For though I be free1658 from all3956 men, yet have2192 I made1402 myself1683 servant1402 to all,3956 that I might gain2770 the more.4119
|
|
20 向猶太人，我就作猶太人，為要得猶太人；向律法以下的人，我就作［as］律法以下的人，為要得律法以下的人。
|
20 And to the Jews2453 I became1096 as a Jew,2453 that I might gain2770 the Jews;2453 to them that are under5259 the law,3551 as under5259 the law,3551 that I might gain2770 them that are under5259 the law;3551
|
|
21 向沒有律法的人，我就作沒有律法的人，（其實我在神面前，不是沒有律法，乃在基督律法之下［but under law to Christ］，）為要得沒有律法的人［that I might gain them that are without law］。
|
21 To them that are without459 law,459 as without459 law,459 (being5607 not without459 law459 to God,2316 but under1772 the law1772 to Christ,5547) that I might gain2770 them that are without459 law.459
|
|
22 向軟弱的人，我就作軟弱的人，為要得軟弱的人。向甚麼樣的人，我就作甚麼樣的人。無論如何，總要救些人。
|
22 To the weak770 became1096 I as weak,770 that I might gain2770 the weak:770 I am made1096 all3956 things to all3956 men, that I might by all3956 means3843 save4982 some.5100
|
|
23 凡我所行的，都是為福音的緣故，為要與你們［you］同得這福音的好處。
|
23 And this5124 I do4160 for the gospel's2098 sake, that I might be partaker4791 thereof846 with you.
|
|
24 豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑，但得獎賞的只有一人？你們也當這樣跑，好叫你們得著獎賞。
|
24 Know1492 you not that they which run5143 in a race4712 run5143 all,3956 but one1520 receives2983 the prize?1017 So3779 run,5143 that you may obtain.2638
|
|
25 凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
|
25 And every3956 man that strives75 for the mastery is temperate1467 in all3956 things. Now3303 they do it to obtain2983 a corruptible5349 crown;4735 but we an incorruptible.862
|
|
26 所以，我奔跑不像無定向的；我鬥拳不像打空氣的：
|
26 I therefore5106 so3779 run,5143 not as uncertainly;84 so3779 fight4438 I, not as one that beats1194 the air:109
|
|
27 但我是攻克己身［But I keep under my body］，叫身服我［bring it into subjection］。恐怕我傳福音給別人，自己反被棄絕［castaway］了。
|
27 But I keep5299 under5299 my body,4983 and bring1396 it into subjection:1396 lest3381 that by any3381 means,4458 when I have preached2784 to others,243 I myself should be a castaway.96
