1 Corinthians 9
Am
I
not
an
a
apostle?
am
I
not
free?
have
I
not
b
seen
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord?
are
not
ye
my
c
work
in
the
Lord?
2 If
I
be
not
an
apostle
unto
others,
yet
doubtless
I
am
to
you:
for
the
a
seal
of
mine
apostleship
are
ye
in
the
Lord.
3 Mine
a
answer
to
them
that
do
b
examine
me
is
this,
4 Have
we
not
power
to
eat
and
to
drink?
5 Have
we
not
power
to
lead
about
a
sister,
a
a
wife,
as
well
as
other
apostles,
and
as
the
b
brethren
of
the
Lord,
and
Cephas?
6 Or
I
only
and
Barnabas,
have
not
we
power
to
forbear
working?
7 Who
goeth
a
a
warfare
any
time
at
his
own
charges?
who
planteth
a
b
vineyard,
and
c
eateth
not
of
the
fruit
thereof?
or
who
feedeth
a
flock,
and
eateth
not
of
the
milk
of
the
flock?
8 Say
I
these
things
as
a
man?
or
saith
not
the
law
the
same
also?
9 For
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
Thou
shalt
not
a
muzzle
the
mouth
of
the
ox
that
treadeth
out
the
corn.
Doth
God
take
care
for
oxen?
10 Or
saith
he
it
altogether
for
our
sakes?
For
our
sakes,
no
doubt,
this
is
a
written:
that
he
that
ploweth
should
plow
in
hope;
and
that
he
that
thresheth
in
hope
should
be
b
partaker
of
his
hope.
11 If
we
have
sown
unto
you
a
spiritual
things,
is
it
a
great
thing
if
we
shall
reap
your
carnal
things?
12 If
others
be
partakers
of
this
power
over
you,
are
not
we
rather?
Nevertheless
we
have
not
used
this
a
power;
but
suffer
all
things,
lest
we
should
hinder
the
gospel
of
Christ.
13 Do
ye
not
know
that
they
which
a
minister
about
holy
things
b
live
of
the
things
of
the
temple?
and
they
which
wait
at
the
altar
are
partakers
with
the
altar?
14 Even
so
hath
the
Lord
ordained
that
they
which
a
preach
the
b
gospel
should
c
live
of
the
gospel.
15 But
I
have
used
none
of
these
things:
neither
have
I
written
these
things,
that
it
should
be
so
done
unto
me:
for
it
were
better
for
me
to
die,
than
that
any
man
should
make
my
glorying
void.
16 For
though
I
preach
the
a
gospel,
I
have
nothing
to
glory
of:
for
b
necessity
is
laid
upon
me;
yea,
woe
is
unto
me,
if
I
c
preach
not
the
gospel!
17 For
if
I
do
this
thing
a
willingly,
I
have
a
b
reward:
but
if
against
my
will,
a
c
dispensation
of
the
gospel
is
committed
unto
me.
18 What
is
my
reward
then?
Verily
that,
when
I
preach
the
gospel,
I
may
make
the
gospel
of
Christ
without
a
charge,
that
I
abuse
not
my
power
in
the
gospel.
19 For
though
I
be
free
from
all
men,
yet
have
I
made
myself
a
servant
unto
all,
that
I
might
gain
the
more.
20 And
unto
the
Jews
I
became
as
a
Jew,
that
I
might
gain
the
Jews;
to
them
that
are
under
the
law,
as
under
the
law,
that
I
might
gain
them
that
are
under
the
law;
21 To
them
that
are
without
law,
as
without
law,
(being
not
without
law
to
God,
but
under
the
law
to
Christ,)
that
I
might
gain
them
that
are
without
law.
22 To
the
weak
became
I
as
a
weak,
that
I
might
gain
the
weak:
I
am
made
b
all
things
to
all
men,
that
I
might
by
all
means
save
some.
23 And
this
I
do
for
the
gospel's
sake,
that
I
might
be
partaker
thereof
with
you.
24 Know
ye
not
that
they
which
run
in
a
race
run
all,
but
one
receiveth
the
prize?
So
run,
that
ye
may
obtain.
25 And
every
man
that
striveth
for
the
a
mastery
is
b
temperate
in
all
things.
Now
they
do
it
to
obtain
a
corruptible
c
crown;
but
we
an
d
incorruptible.
26 I
therefore
so
run,
not
as
uncertainly;
so
fight
I,
not
as
one
that
beateth
the
air:
27 But
I
a
keep
under
my
b
body,
and
bring
it
into
subjection:
lest
that
by
any
means,
when
I
have
preached
to
others,
I
myself
should
be
a
castaway.
