8/11/2023 甘心作这事

林前9:16-18 

我传福音原没有可夸的．因为我是不得已的．若不传福音、我便有祸了。我若甘心作这事、就有赏赐．若不甘心、责任却已经托付我了。既是这样、我的赏赐是甚么呢．就是我传福音的时候、叫人不花钱得福音、免得用尽我传福音的权柄。

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me, if I don't preach the Good News. For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me. What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

主耶稣！使徒保罗说出内心的话, 信徒都有传福音的责任, 这话是每个信都需要知道的。主啊！我承认, 已经许久没有传福音, 失去了神的赏赐, 我传福音的赏赐, 就是看见人得救。
