Scripture:[1 Corinthians 9:19-27 ] 19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law(though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
信息經文: [林前9:19-27] 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。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,他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕;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。
