RF CO1 9:1 Paul's Personal Defence.
Am I not a free man? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen the Lord Jesus Christ? Are you not my work in the Lord?
RF CO1 9:2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet I am certainly so to you; for you are the stamp of my apostleship from the Lord.
RF CO1 9:3 My defence to my accusers is this:
RF CO1 9:4 Whether or no have we a right to eat and drink?
RF CO1 9:5 Whether or no have we a right to travel with a Christian wife—like the rest of the apostles, and the Lord's brothers, and Cephas?
RF CO1 9:6 Or I and Barnabas alone—have we no right at all, except to work?
RF CO1 9:7 Who campaigns at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat of its produce? Who feeds cattle and does not consume the milk of the cattle?
RF CO1 9:8 I do not say this humanly; does not the Law also say the same?
RF CO1 9:9 For in the law of Moses it is written: You SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE THRESHING BULLOCK. 1 Bullocks are an object of care with God.
RF CO1 9:10 But he speaks for us also, he wrote for us as well; because the ploughman ought to plough in hope, and the thresher ought to share in the hope.
RF CO1 9:11 If we have sown spiritually for you, is it much if we reap the necessaries of life with you?
RF CO1 9:12 If others exercise this right to be paid by you, how much more can we! But we have not used this right; on the contrary, we went short Of everything, in order that we might not give trouble to any one on account of the gospel of Christ.
RF CO1 9:13 Do you not know that those serving the temple eat from the temple? that those devoted to the altar are maintained from the altar?
RF CO1 9:14 And so the Lord ordained to the preachers of the gospel, that they should live out of the gospel.
RF CO1 9:15 But I have availed myself of none of these; nor have I written this so that it might be done thus to myself: for better to me to die rather than that any one should destroy my boast in that manner.
RF CO1 9:16 For if I am preaching the gospel, it is no credit to me: rather a necessity is laid upon me; because it is a punishment for me if I am not preaching the gospel.
RF CO1 9:17 Yet if I do this willingly, I have a reward; if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with an office.
RF CO1 9:18 What are my wages then? That preaching without pay, I lay a foundation for the gospel; while none can deprive me of the power which that gospel gives me.
RF CO1 9:19 For being free from all, I have enslaved myself to all, so that I might benefit the greatest possible number.

1. Deut 25:4
RF CO1 9:20 And I became like a Jew to the Jews, so that I might benefit the Jews; to those under a law as though under a law, so that I might benefit these under a law;
RF CO1 9:21 to those not possessing a law as though not possessing a law—not, however, being without a Divine law; but, on the contrary, under a law of Christ—so that I might gain those not possessing a law.
RF CO1 9:22 To the weak I became as weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all these I adapted myself, so that I might save some, at all events.
RF CO1 9:23 And I do it all for the sake of the good news, so that I may become a participator in it.
RF CO1 9:24 Do you not know that the runners on the track all run, but a single one carries off the prize? Thus run; so that you may win it.
RF CO1 9:25 And every competitor restrains himself in all things; they, however, so that they may receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
RF CO1 9:26 Therefore I run thus; not like a trifler. I strike thus; not as beating wind.
RF CO1 9:27 But instead, I train my body and lead a slave's life; for fear that, after having trained others, I myself should be disapproved.
