Paul’s Use of Freedom
1我不是自由的麼;我不是使徒麼;我不是見過我們的主耶穌麼;你們不是我在主裏面所作之工麼。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。
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3我對那盤問我的人,就是這樣分訴。4難道我們沒有權柄靠福音喫喝麼。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,和主的弟兄,並磯法一樣麼。6獨有我與巴拿巴沒有權柄不作工麼。7有誰當兵,自備糧餉呢;有誰栽葡萄園,不喫園裏的果子呢;有誰牧養牛羊,不喫牛羊的奶呢。
3My defense to those who examine me is this: 4Do we not have a right to eat and drink? 5Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 6Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working? 7Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not consume some of the milk of the flock?
8我說這話,豈是照人的意見;律法不也是這樣說麼。9就如摩西的律法記著說,牛在場上踹穀的時候,不可籠住他的嘴。難道神所掛念的是牛麼;10不全是為我們說的麼;分明是為我們說的;因為耕種的當存著指望去耕種;打場的也當存得糧的指望去打場。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,這還算大事麼。12若別人在你們身上有這權柄,何況我們呢;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。13你們豈不知為聖事勞碌的,就喫殿中的物麼;伺候祭壇的,就分領壇上的物麼。14主也是這樣命定,叫傳福音的,靠著福音養生。
8I am not just asserting these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? 9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE IT IS THRESHING.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He? 10Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops. 11If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. 13Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar? 14So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.
15但這權柄我全沒有用過;我寫這話,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。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。17我若甘心作這事,就有賞賜;若不甘心,責任卻已經託付我了。18既是這樣,我的賞賜是甚麼呢;就是我傳福音的時候,叫人不花錢得福音,免得用盡我傳福音的權柄。
15But I have used none of these things. And I have not written these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than that. No one shall make my boast an empty one! 16For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach the gospel. 17For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a commission nonetheless. 18What, then, is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
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。20向猶太人我就作猶太人,為要得猶太人;向律法以下的人,我雖不在律法以下,還是作律法以下的人,為要得律法以下的人。21向沒有律法的人,我就作沒有律法的人,為要得沒有律法的人;其實我在神面前,不是沒有律法,在基督面前,正在律法之下。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。23凡我所行的,都是為福音的緣故,為要與人同得這福音的好處。
19For though I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may gain more. 20To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law; 21to those who are without the Law, I became as one without the Law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might gain those who are without the Law. 22To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some. 23I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.
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。25凡較力爭勝的,諸事都有節制;他們不過要得能壞的冠冕;我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。26所以我奔跑,不像無定向的;我鬥拳,不像打空氣的。27我是攻克己身,叫身服我;恐怕我傳福音給別人,自己反被棄絕了。
24Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air; 27but I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
