I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don’t want to build on what someone else has started.

我立了志向，不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音，免得建造在别人的根基上。

这样，我立了志向，不在基督的名已经传扬过的地方传福音，免得建造在别人的根基上；

这样，我立了志向，不在基督的名已经传扬过的地方传福音，免得建造在别人的根基上；

我立志只去从未听过基督之名的地方传福音，免得我建造在别人的根基上。

我立定主意，不在宣扬过基督的地方传福音，免得建立在别人的根基上，

这样，我立定心志要在基督的名没有被传过的地方传福音，免得建造在别人的根基上，

我立了志向，不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上。

這樣，我立了志向，不在基督的名已經傳揚過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上；

這樣，我立了志向，不在基督的名已經傳揚過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上；

我立志只去從未聽過基督之名的地方傳福音，免得我建造在別人的根基上。

我立定主意，不在宣揚過基督的地方傳福音，免得建立在別人的根基上，

我是這樣、不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上；

這樣，我立定心志要在基督的名沒有被傳過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上，

我務宣福音、不在已宣基督之處、免建於他人之基、

我已甚慕傳福音、不在耶穌被稱之處、恐建於他人基上、

且我務傳福音、不在基督已被稱之處、免建於他人基上、

吾之傳道、特選未聞基督聖名之各地、以免建築於他人之基上。

It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation,

My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.

My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,

And in this way I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already known by name, so that I would not build on another person’s foundation;

And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation,

yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;

My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:

And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation,

yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

But I won’t brag more than I should. God himself has given me an opportunity for serving. I will only brag about what I have done with that opportunity. This opportunity for serving also includes you.I am not going too far in my bragging. I would be going too far if I hadn’t come to where you live. But I did get there with the good news about Christ.And I won’t brag about work done by others. If I did, I would be bragging more than I should. As your faith continues to grow, I hope that my work among you will greatly increase.Then I will be able to preach the good news in the areas beyond you. I don’t want to brag about work already done in someone else’s territory.

You are a building that is built on the apostles and prophets. They are the foundation. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in the building.The whole building is held together by him. It rises to become a holy temple because it belongs to the Lord.And because you belong to him, you too are being built together. You are being made into a house where God lives through his Spirit.

We work together to serve God. You are like God’s field. You are like his building.God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully.No one can lay any other foundation than what has already been laid. That foundation is Jesus Christ.A person may build on it using gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw.But each person’s work will be shown for what it is. On judgment day it will be brought to light. It will be put through fire. The fire will test how good each person’s work is.If the building doesn’t burn up, God will give the builder a reward for the work.If the building burns up, the builder will lose everything. The builder will be saved, but only like one escaping through the flames.
