AmG1510 I not an apostle?G652 amG1510 I not free?G1658 have I not seenG3708 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Lord?G2962 are not you my workG2041 in the Lord?G2962
2
IfG1487 I be not an apostleG652 to others,G243 yetG235 doubtlessG1065 I amG1510 to you: for the sealG4973 of myG1699 apostleshipG651 are you in the Lord.G2962
3
MyG1699 answerG627 to them that do examineG350 me is this,G3778
4
HaveG2192 we not powerG1849 to eatG5315 and to drink?G4095
5
HaveG2192 we not powerG1849 to leadG4013 aboutG4013 a sister,G79 a wife,G1135 as wellG2532 as otherG3062 apostles,G652 and as the brothersG80 of the Lord,G2962 and Cephas?G2786
6
OrG2228 I onlyG3441 and Barnabas,G921 haveG2192 not we powerG1849 to forbearG3361 working?G2038
7
WhoG5100 goes a warfareG4754 anyG4218 timeG4218 atG4218 his ownG2398 charges?G3800 whoG5100 plantsG5452 a vineyard,G290 and eatsG2068 not of the fruitG2590 thereof?G846 orG2228 whoG5100 feedsG4165 a flock,G4167 and eatsG2068 not of the milkG1051 of the flock?G4167
8
SayG2980 I theseG5023 things as a man?G444 orG2228 saidG3004 not the lawG3551 the sameG5023 also?G2532
9
For it is writtenG1125 in the lawG3551 of Moses,G3475 You shall not muzzleG5392 the mouth of the oxG1016 that treadsG248 out the corn. Does GodG2316 take careG3199 for oxen?G1016
10
OrG2228 saidG3004 he it altogetherG3843 for our sakes? For our sakes, noG1063 doubt,G1063 this is written:G1125 that he that plowsG722 shouldG3784 plowG722 in hope;G1680 and that he that threshesG248 in hopeG1680 should be partakerG3348 of his hope.G1680
11
IfG1487 we haveG2192 sownG4687 to you spiritualG4152 things, is it a greatG3173 thing ifG1487 we shall reapG2325 yourG5216 carnalG4559 things?
12
IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348 of thisG3588 powerG1849 over you, are not we rather?G3123 NeverthelessG235 we haveG2192 not usedG5530 thisG5026 power;G1849 but sufferG4722 allG3956 things, lestG2443 G3361 we should hinderG5100 the gospelG2098 of Christ.G5547
13
Do you not knowG1492 that they which ministerG2038 about holyG2413 things liveG2068 of the things of the temple?G2411 and they which waitG4332 at the altarG2379 are partakersG4829 with the altar?G2379
14
EvenG2532 soG3779 has the LordG2962 ordainedG1299 that they which preachG2605 the gospelG2098 should liveG2198 of the gospel.G2098
15
But I have usedG5530 noneG3762 of theseG5130 things: neither have I writtenG1125 theseG5023 things, that it should be soG3779 doneG1096 to me: for it were betterG2570 G3123 for me to die,G599 thanG2228 that anyG5100 man should makeG2758 my gloryingG2745 void.G2758
16
For thoughG1437 I preachG2097 the gospel,G2097 I haveG2076 nothingG3756 to gloryG2745 of: for necessityG318 is laidG1945 on me; yes,G1161 woeG3759 is to me, ifG1437 I preachG2097 not the gospel!G2097
17
For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG5124 thing willingly,G1635 I haveG2192 a reward:G3408 but ifG1487 againstG210 my will,G210 a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committedG4100 to me.
18
WhatG5101 is my rewardG3408 then?G3767 Truly that, when I preachG2097 the gospel,G2097 I may makeG5087 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547 withoutG77 charge,G77 that I abuseG2710 not my powerG1849 in the gospel.G2098
19
For though I be freeG1658 from allG3956 men, yet haveG2192 I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 to all,G3956 that I might gainG2770 the more.G4119
20
And to the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a Jew,G2453 that I might gainG2770 the Jews;G2453 to them that are underG5259 the law,G3551 as underG5259 the law,G3551 that I might gainG2770 them that are underG5259 the law;G3551
21
To them that are withoutG459 law,G459 as withoutG459 law,G459 (beingG5607 not withoutG459 lawG459 to God,G2316 but underG1772 the lawG1772 to Christ,G5547) that I might gainG2770 them that are withoutG459 law.G459
22
To the weakG770 becameG1096 I as weak,G770 that I might gainG2770 the weak:G770 I am madeG1096 allG3956 things to allG3956 men, that I might by allG3956 meansG3843 saveG4982 some.G5100
23
And thisG5124 I doG4160 for the gospel'sG2098 sake, that I might be partakerG4791 thereofG846 with you.
24
KnowG1492 you not that they which runG5143 in a raceG4712 runG5143 all,G3956 but oneG1520 receivesG2983 the prize?G1017 SoG3779 run,G5143 that you may obtain.G2638
25
And everyG3956 man that strivesG75 for the mastery is temperateG1467 in allG3956 things. NowG3303 they do it to obtainG2983 a corruptibleG5349 crown;G4735 but we an incorruptible.G862
26
I thereforeG5106 soG3779 run,G5143 not as uncertainly;G84 soG3779 fightG4438 I, not as one that beatsG1194 the air:G109
27
But I keepG5299 underG5299 my body,G4983 and bringG1396 it into subjection:G1396 lestG3381 that by anyG3381 means,G4458 when I have preachedG2784 to others,G243 I myself should be a castaway.G96
