1 Corinthians 9 1 Am I not an apostle ? am I not free ? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord ? are not ye my work in the Lord ? Copy 2 If I be not an apostle unto others , yet doubtless I am to you : for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord . Copy 3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this , Copy 4 Have we not power to eat and to drink ? Copy 5 Have we not power to lead about a sister , a wife , as well as other apostles , and as the brethren of the Lord , and Cephas ? Copy 6 Or I only and Barnabas , have not we power to forbear working ? Copy 7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges ? who planteth a vineyard , and eateth not of the fruit thereof ? or who feedeth a flock , and eateth not of the milk of the flock ? Copy 8 Say I these things as a man ? or saith not the law the same also ? Copy 9 For it is written in the law of Moses , Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn . Doth God take care for oxen ? Copy 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes ? For our sakes , no doubt , this is written : that he that ploweth should plow in hope ; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope . Copy 11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things , is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things ? Copy 12 If others be partakers of this power over you , are not we rather ? Nevertheless we have not used this power ; but suffer all things , lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ . Copy 13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple ? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar ? Copy 14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel . Copy 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 . Copy 16 For though I preach the gospel , I have nothing to glory of : for necessity is laid upon me ; yea , woe is unto me , if I preach not the gospel ! Copy 17 For if I do this thing willingly , I have a reward : but if against my will , a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me . Copy 18 What is my reward then ? Verily that , when I preach the gospel , I may make the gospel of Christ without charge , that I abuse not my power in the gospel . Copy 19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all , that I might gain the more . Copy 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 ; Copy 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 . Copy 22 To the weak became I as weak , that I might gain the weak : I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some . Copy 23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake , that I might be partaker thereof with you. Copy 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all , but one receiveth the prize ? So run , that ye may obtain . Copy 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things . Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown ; but we an incorruptible . Copy 26 I therefore so run , not as uncertainly ; so fight I , not as one that beateth the air : Copy 27 But I keep under my body , and bring it into subjection : lest that by any means , when I have preached to others , I myself should be a castaway .
