Thư Thứ Nhất Gửi Tín Hữu Côrintô 9: 16-19, 22-27

9:16 For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.

9:17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me.

9:18 And what, sau đó, would be my reward? Vì thế, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel.

9:19 For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more.

9:22 To the weak, I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all, I became all, so that I might save all.

9:23 And I do everything for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become its partner.

9:24 Do you not know that, of those who run in a race, all of them, chắc chắn , are runners, but only one achieves the prize. Tương tự, you must run, so that you may achieve.

9:25 And one who competes in a contest abstains from all things. And they do this, tất nhiên rồi, so that they may achieve a corruptible crown. But we do this, so that we may achieve what is incorruptible.

9:26 And so I run, but not with uncertainty. And so I fight, but not by flailing in the air.

9:27 Thay vì, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Nếu không thì, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast.

6:39 Now he told them another comparison: “How can the blind lead the blind? Would they not both fall into a pit?

6:40 The disciple is not above his teacher. But each one will be perfected, if he is like his teacher.

6:41 And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?

6:42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.
