1 PBBM Inda he au rasul? Inda he au halak na bebas? Inda he au nadung mangaligi Yesus Tuhan tai? Inda hamu ima hasil ni karejongku dibagasan Tuhan? BSB BSB: Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
2 PBBM Sahali pe di halak naasing au inda rasul, tai di hamu au ima rasul, harana ngolumunu dibagasan ima kunci sian harasulonku. BSB BSB: Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 PBBM On ma pambelaanku tu halahi na mangkaritik au. BSB BSB: This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4 PBBM Inda he halahi puna hak mangan dohot minum? BSB BSB: Have we no right to food and to drink?
6 PBBM Ato hum au dohot si Barnabas sajope inda puna hak di palua sian karejo ni tangan. BSB BSB: Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
7 PBBM Ise ma na unjung dohot dibagasan parporangan nadi biayai na sandiri? Isema na manyuan kobun anggor naso mangaukon parbatuna susu ni biri-biri i? BSB BSB: Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
8 PBBM Aha na hundohon on, inda hum pikiran ni Jolma sajo, inda he tonai pe mandokon songoni? BSB BSB: Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
9 PBBM Harana dibagasan ni hukum Musa, adong tertulis: ulang maho mangantahi panangan ni lombu na sedang manjarupal! Lombu do lakna nadi parroahon ni Tuhan? BSB BSB: For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
10 PBBM Ato hita do na didokon? Olo baen dihita ma anso di tulis. Ima pambajak musti mambajak anso mandapot, dohot panjampal musti manjumpal anso mandapat bagian na. BSB BSB: Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
11 PBBM Jadi molo hami madung manyambut tampang ni haporsayaan tu homu, marlobi-lobi di lakna, anggo hami manjadi hesil ni partibion sian homu? BSB BSB: If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
12 PBBM Angga halak na asing mampuna halak giot mangharobkon parkaro on sian homu, inda he hami namarhak lobi godang? Tai hami inda mampargunahon hak nami i, sebalik na hami mananggung sude sanga na aha pe, anso ulang hami mambaen hambatan tu halahi mambaritahon Injil Kristus. BSB BSB: If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 PBBM Inda he diboto hamu anggo halahi namakarejo di langgitan, mandapat bagian ni halahi sian langgatan. BSB BSB: Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
14 PBBM Songoni muse ma Tuhan madung manotopkon, anso halahi na mambaritahon Injil, musti mangalu sian pambaritaon ni Injil i. BSB BSB: In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15 PBBM Tai au inda unjung man pargumahon sada pe sian hak nami i, gu inda manulis sude naon, anso au di baen juo songon on harana ay lobu ra mate asal ulang! Botul, hagogoan ku inda bisa di suadahon ise pe juo! BSB BSB: But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
16 PBBM Harana anggo au mambaritahon Injil, au inda adong puna alasan anso mambangahon diri, harana liam anso kaharusan di au. Hancur ma au, anggo au inda mambaritahon Injil. BSB BSB: Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
17 PBBM Anggo lumpamana au mangkarejohon manurut hagiotku sandiri, memang au marhak manarimo upa, tai harana au mangharejohon inda manurut hagiot ku sandiri, pambaritaan i ima tugas pangyelenggara nadi bobankon tu au.

18 PBBM Anggo songoni ahama upang Ku? Upang ku ima: au tola mambaritahon barita nauli inda marupa. Dohot au inda mampargumahon hak ku songon pambarita nauli. BSB BSB: What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
19 PBBM Harupe au bebas tu sude halak au manjadihon diringku babu ni sude halak. Anso au tola mamondongkon sabahat bahatna. BSB BSB: Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
20 PBBM Songoni ma tu halak Yahudi, au manjadi songon halak Yahudi anso au mamonangkon halak-halak Yahudi. Di halak na mangolu di toru ni tondi, au manjadi songon halak na mingolu di toru ni tondi, sahali pe au sandiri inda mangolu di toru ni tondi, anso au bisa iwamonangkon halahi mamangolu di toru ni tondi. BSB BSB: 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), to win those under the law.

BSB BSB: To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
22 PBBM Tu halak-halak na lomah, au manjadi songon halak na lomah, anso au manyalamatkon halahi na lomah, tu sude halak, au madung manjadi sagala-galana, anso au sebisa-bisana mamonangkon sanga piga-piga halak di antara ni halahi. BSB BSB: 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 PBBM Sudena on hu karejohon hara ni Injil, anso au mandapot bagian di bagasan ni on. BSB BSB: I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
24 PBBM Inda he diboto hamu, bahaso dibagasan gunggang tawtaudingan sude pesertana dohot marlojong, tai anso hum sada halak sajo do na mandepat hadiah? Harani i marlojong ma homu songoni anso homu mandapat sa. BSB BSB: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
25 PBBM Satiop halak na dohot mambuat bagian dibagasan partandingan, manguasai dirina dibagasan sude matarjadi halahi mambaen nasongoni anso mandapat songon piala na fana, tai hita anso mandapat tarsongon piala na abadi. BSB BSB: Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
26 PBBM Harani i au inda marlojong naso adong tujuan dohot au inda partenju na sembarangan sajo mamukul. BSB BSB: Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
27 PBBM Tai au mangalatih badanku dohot manguasai sudena, anso dung mambaritahon Injil tu halak na asingi, ulang au sandiri di tulak. BSB BSB: No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
