dourh@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:2 @ And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defence with them that do examine me is this.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have not we power to eat and to drink?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:9 @ 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?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Know you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the altar?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die, rather than that any man should make my glory void.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me, for a necessity lieth upon me: for woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:

dourh@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:20 @ And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:

dourh@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:26 @ I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:

dourh@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
