Paul’s Use of Freedom
1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?2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。
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我对那盘问我的人就是这样分诉:4难道我们没有权柄靠福音吃喝吗?5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?6独有我与巴拿巴没有权柄不做工吗?7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?
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我说这话,岂是照人的意见;律法不也是这样说吗?9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?10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。11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?12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。13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?14主也是这样命定,叫传福音的靠着福音养生。
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。16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。17我若甘心做这事,就有赏赐;若不甘心,责任却已经托付我了。18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。
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。20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。21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。22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。23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。
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。25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。26所以,我奔跑不像无定向的;我斗拳不像打空气的。27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。
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.
