1 Corinthians 9

1Am IG1510 notG3756 an apostleG652? am IG1510 notG3756 freeG1658? have IG3708 notG3780 seenG3708 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962? areG1510 notG3756 yeG4771 myG1473 workG3588G2041 inG1722 the LordG2962? 2IfG1487 I beG1510 notG3756 an apostleG652 unto othersG243, yetG235 doubtlessG1065 I amG1510 to youG4771: forG1063 the sealG4973 of mineG1699 apostleshipG651 areG1510 yeG4771 inG1722 the LordG2962. 3

MineG1699 answerG627 to themG3588 that do examineG350 meG1473 isG1510 thisG3778, 4Have weG2192 notG3756 rightG1849 to eatG5315 andG2532 to drinkG4095? 5Have weG2192 notG3756 rightG1849 to lead aboutG4013 a sisterG79, a wifeG1135, as wellG5613 asG2532 otherG3062 apostlesG652, andG2532 as the brethrenG3588G80 of the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 CephasG2786? 6OrG2228 IG1473 onlyG3441 andG2532 BarnabasG921, haveG2192 notG3361 we rightG1849 to forbear workingG2038? 7WhoG5101 goeth a warfareG4754 any timeG4218 at his ownG2398 chargesG3800? whoG5101 plantethG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 eatethG2068 notG3756 ofG1537 the fruitG3588G2590 thereofG846? orG2228 whoG5101 feedethG4165 a flockG4167, andG2532 eatethG2068 notG3756 ofG1537 the milkG3588G1051 of the flockG3588G4167? 8Say IG2980 these thingsG3778 asG2596 a manG444? orG2228 saithG3004 notG3780 the lawG3588G3551 the sameG3778 alsoG2532? 9ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzle the mouth ofG5392 the oxG1016 that treadeth out the grainG248. DothG3199 GodG3588G2316 take careG3199 for oxenG3588G1016? 10OrG2228 saith heG3004 it altogetherG3843 forG1223 our sakesG1473? ForG1223 our sakesG1473, no doubtG1063, this is writtenG1125: thatG3754 heG3588 that plowethG722 shouldG3784 plowG722 inG1909 hopeG1680; and thatG2532 he thatG3588 threshethG248 inG1909 hopeG3588G1680 should be partakerG3348 of hisG846 hopeG1680. 11IfG1487 weG1473 have sownG4687 unto youG4771 spiritual thingsG4152, is it a great thingG3173 ifG1487 weG1473 shall reapG2325 yourG4771 carnal thingsG4559? 12IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348 of this authorityG3588G1849 over youG4771, are notG3756 weG1473 ratherG3123? NeverthelessG235 we haveG5530 notG3756 usedG5530 thisG3778 authorityG3588G1849; butG235 sufferG4722 all thingsG3956, lestG2443 we shouldG1325 hinderG1464 the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547. 13Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 they which ministerG3588G2038 aboutG1537 holy thingsG3588G2413 liveG2068 of the things of the templeG3588G2411? and they which waitG3588G4332 at the altarG3588G2379 are partakersG4829 with the altarG3588G2379? 14EvenG2532 soG3779 hathG1299 the LordG3588G2962 ordained thatG1299 they whichG3588 preachG2605 the gospelG3588G2098 should liveG2198 ofG1537 the gospelG3588G2098.

15ButG1161 IG1473 have usedG5530 noneG3762 of these thingsG3778: neitherG3756 have I writtenG1125 these thingsG3778, thatG2443 it should beG1096 soG3779 doneG1096 untoG1722 meG1473: forG1063 it were betterG2570 for meG1473 to dieG599, thanG2228 thatG2443 any manG5100 should makeG2758 myG1473 gloryingG3588G2745 voidG2758. 16ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG1473 haveG1510 nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laidG1945 upon meG1473; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG1510 unto meG1473, ifG1437 I preachG2097 notG3361 the gospelG2097! 17ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238 this thingG3778 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100. 18WhatG5101 isG1510 myG1473 rewardG3588G3408 thenG3767? Verily thatG2443, when I preach the gospelG2097, I may makeG5087 the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547 without chargeG77, that I abuseG2710 notG3361 myG1473 authorityG3588G1849 inG1722 the gospelG3588G2098. 19

ForG1063 though I beG1510 freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the moreG4119. 20AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453; to them that areG3588 underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that areG3588 underG5259 the lawG3551; 21To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG1510 notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are without lawG459. 22To the weakG3588G772 became IG1096 asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the weakG3588G772: I am madeG1096 all thingsG3588G3956 to allG3588G3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100. 23AndG1161 thisG3778 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel’s sakeG3588G2098, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereof withG846 you.

24Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 they whichG3588 runG5143 inG1722 a raceG4712 runG5143 allG3956, butG1161 oneG1520 receivethG2983 the prizeG3588G1017? SoG3779 runG5143, thatG2443 ye may obtainG2638. 25AndG1161 every manG3956 that striveth for the masteryG75 is temperateG1467 in all thingsG3956. NowG3767 theyG1565 do it toG2443 obtainG2983 a corruptibleG5349 crownG4735; butG1161 weG1473 an incorruptibleG862.

26IG1473 thereforeG5106 soG3779 runG5143, notG3756 asG5613 uncertainlyG84; soG3779 fight IG4438, notG3756 asG5613 one that beatethG1194 the airG109: 27ButG235 I keep underG5299 myG1473 bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 bringG1396 it into subjectionG1396: lest that by any meansG3381, when I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 should beG1096 a castawayG96.
