1 Corinthians 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?	1 Δεν ειμαι αποστολος; δεν ειμαι ελευθερος; δεν ειδον τον Ιησουν Χριστον τον Κυριον ημων; δεν εισθε σεις το εργον μου εν Κυριω;
2 And 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.	2 Αν δεν ημαι εις αλλους αποστολος, αλλ' εις εσας τουλαχιστον ειμαι? διοτι η σφραγις της αποστολης μου σεις εισθε εν Κυριω.
3 My defence with them that do examine me is this.	3 Η απολογια μου εις τους ανακρινοντας με ειναι αυτη?
4 Have not we power to eat and to drink?	4 μη δεν εχομεν εξουσιαν να φαγωμεν και να πιωμεν;
5 Have 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?	5 μη δεν εχομεν εξουσιαν να συμπεριφερωμεν αδελφην γυναικα, ως και οι λοιποι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι του Κυριου και ο Κηφας;
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?	6 η μονος εγω και ο Βαρναβας δεν εχομεν εξουσιαν να μη εργαζωμεθα;
7 Who 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?	7 Τις ποτε εκστρατευει με ιδια αυτου εξοδα; Τις φυτευει αμπελωνα και δεν τρωγει εκ του καρπου αυτου; η τις ποιμαινει ποιμνιον και δεν τρωγει εκ του γαλακτος του ποιμνιου;
8 Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?	8 Μηπως κατα ανθρωπον λαλω ταυτα; η δεν λεγει ταυτα και ο νομος;
9 For 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?	9 διοτι εν τω νομω του Μωυσεως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Δεν θελεις εμφραξει το στομα βοος αλωνιζοντος. Μηπως μελει τον Θεον περι των βοων;
10 Or 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.	10 η δι' ημας βεβαιως λεγει τουτο; διοτι δι' ημας εγραφη, οτι ο αροτριων με ελπιδα πρεπει να αροτρια, και ο αλωνιζων με ελπιδα να μετεχη της ελπιδος αυτου.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?	11 Εαν ημεις εσπειραμεν εις εσας τα πνευματικα, μεγα ειναι εαν ημεις θερισωμεν τα σαρκικα σας;
12 If 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.	12 Εαν αλλοι μετεχωσι της εφ' υμας εξουσιας, δεν πρεπει μαλλον ημεις; Αλλα δεν μετεχειρισθημεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην, αλλ' υποφερομεν παντα, δια να μη προξενησωμεν εμποδιον τι εις το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου.
13 Know 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?	13 Δεν εξευρετε οτι οι εργαζομενοι τα ιερα εκ του ιερου τρωγουσιν, οι ενασχολουμενοι εις το θυσιαστηριον μετα του θυσιαστηριου λαμβανουσι μεριδιον;
14 So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.	14 Ουτω και ο Κυριος διεταξεν, οι κηρυττοντες το ευαγγελιον να ζωσιν εκ του ευαγγελιου.
15 But 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.	15 Πλην εγω ουδεν τουτων μετεχειρισθην. Ουδε εγραψα ταυτα δια να γεινη ουτως εις εμε? διοτι καλον ειναι εις εμε να αποθανω μαλλον παρα να ματαιωση τις το καυχημα μου.
16 For 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.	16 Διοτι εαν κηρυττω το ευαγγελιον, δεν ειναι εις εμε καυχημα? επειδη αναγκη επικειται εις εμε? ουαι δε ειναι εις εμε εαν δεν κηρυττω?
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:	17 επειδη εαν καμνω τουτο εκουσιως, εχω μισθον? εαν δε ακουσιως, ειμαι εμπεπιστευμενος οικονομιαν.
18 What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.	18 Τις λοιπον ειναι ο μισθος μου; το να καμω αδαπανον το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου δια της κηρυξεως μου, ωστε να μη καμνω καταχρησιν της εξουσιας μου εν τω ευαγγελιω.
19 For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.	19 Διοτι ελευθερος ων παντων εις παντας εδουλωσα εμαυτον, δια να κερδησω τους πλειοτερους?
20 And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:	20 και εγεινα εις τους Ιουδαιους ως Ιουδαιος, δια να κερδησω τους Ιουδαιους? εις τους υπο νομον ως υπο νομον, δια να κερδησω τους υπο νομον?
21 To 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.	21 εις τους ανομους ως ανομος, μη ων ανομος εις τον Θεον, αλλ' εννομος εις τον Χριστον, δια να κερδησω ανομους?
22 To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.	22 εγεινα εις τους ασθενεις ως ασθενης, δια να κερδησω τους ασθενεις? εις παντας εγεινα τα παντα, δια να σωσω παντι τροπω τινας.
23 And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.	23 Καμνω δε τουτο δια το ευαγγελιον, δια να γεινω συγκοινωνος αυτου.
24 Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize ? So run that you may obtain.	24 Δεν εξευρετε οτι οι τρεχοντες εν τω σταδιω παντες μεν τρεχουσιν, εις ομως λαμβανει το βραβειον; ουτω τρεχετε, ωστε να λαβητε αυτο.
25 And 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.	25 Πας δε ο αγωνιζομενος εις παντα εγκρατευεται, εκεινοι μεν δια να λαβωσι φθαρτον στεφανον, ημεις δε αφθαρτον.
26 I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:	26 Εγω λοιπον ουτω τρεχω, ουχι ως αβεβαιως, ουτω πυγμαχω, ουχι ως κτυπων τον αερα,
27 But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.	27 αλλα δαμαζω το σωμα μου και δουλαγωγω, μηπως εις αλλους κηρυξας εγω γεινω αδοκιμος.
