Prima lettera ai Corinzi 9

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Non sum liber? Non sum apo stolus? Nonne Iesum Dominum nostrum vidi? Nonopus meum vos estis in Domino?	1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 Si aliis non sum apostolus, sed tamen vobissum; nam signaculum apostolatus mei vos estis in Domino.	2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Mea defensio apudeos, qui me interrogant, haec est.	3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Numquid non habemus potestatem manducandiet bibendi?	4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Numquid non habemus potestatem sororem mulierem circumducendi,sicut et ceteri apostoli et fratres Domini et Cephas?	5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Aut solus ego etBarnabas non habemus potestatem non operandi?	6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Quis militat suis stipendiis umquam? Quis plantat vineam et fructum eius nonedit? Aut quis pascit gregem et de lacte gregis non manducat?	7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Numquid secundumhominem haec dico? An et lex haec non dicit?	8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 Scriptum est enim in Lege Moysis:“ Non alligabis os bovi trituranti ”. Numquid de bobus cura est Deo?	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?
10 Anpropter nos utique dicit? Nam propter nos scripta sunt, quoniam debet in spe,qui arat, arare; et, qui triturat, in spe fructus percipiendi.	10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 Si nos vobisspiritalia seminavimus, magnum est, si nos carnalia vestra metamus?	11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 Si aliipotestatis vestrae participes sunt, non potius nos? Sed non usi sumus hacpotestate, sed omnia sustinemus, ne quod offendiculum demus evangelio Christi.	12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Nescitis quoniam, qui sacra operantur, quae de sacrario sunt, edunt; quialtari deserviunt, cum altari participantur?	13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the alter are partakers with the alter?
14 Ita et Dominus ordinavit his,qui evangelium annuntiant, de evangelio vivere.	14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15 Ego autem nullo horum usus sum. Non scripsi autem haec, ut ita fiant in me;bonum est enim mihi magis mori quam ut gloriam meam quis evacuet.	15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16 Nam sievangelizavero, non est mihi gloria; necessitas enim mihi incumbit. Vae enimmihi est, si non evangelizavero!	16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 Si enim volens hoc ago, mercedem habeo; siautem invitus, dispensatio mihi credita est.	17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
18 Quae est ergo merces mea? Utevangelium praedicans sine sumptu ponam evangelium, ut non abutar potestate meain evangelio.	18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 Nam cum liber essem ex omnibus, omnium me servum feci, ut plures lucrifacerem.	19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 Et factus sum Iudaeis tamquam Iudaeus, ut Iudaeos lucrarer; his, quisub lege sunt, quasi sub lege essem, cum ipse non essem sub lege, ut eos, quisub lege erant, lucri facerem;	20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 his, qui sine lege erant, tamquam sine legeessem, cum sine lege Dei non essem, sed in lege essem Christi, ut lucri faceremeos, qui sine lege erant;	21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 factus sum infirmis infirmus, ut infirmos lucrifacerem; omnibus omnia factus sum, ut aliquos utique facerem salvos.	22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23 Omniaautem facio propter evangelium, ut comparticeps eius efficiar.	23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24 Nescitis quod hi, qui in stadio currunt, omnes quidem currunt, sed unusaccipit bravium? Sic currite, ut comprehendatis.	24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 Omnis autem, qui in agonecontendit, ab omnibus se abstinet; et illi quidem, ut corruptibilem coronamaccipiant, nos autem incorruptam.	25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 Ego igitur sic curro non quasi in incertum,sic pugno non quasi aerem verberans;	26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 sed castigo corpus meum et in servitutemredigo, ne forte, cum aliis praedicaverim, ipse reprobus efficiar.	27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
