updv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you(note:){+}(:note) my work in the Lord?

updv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you(note:){+}(:note); for the seal of my apostleship are you{+} in the Lord.

updv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defense to those who examine me is this.

updv@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Do we have no right to eat and to drink?

updv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we have no right to lead about a wife who is a sister, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

updv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or only I and Barnabas, do we not have a right to forbear working?

updv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier ever serves at his own charges? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock, and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

updv@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I speak these things after the manner of men or doesn't the law also say the same?

updv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, You will not muzzle the ox when he treads out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God cares,

updv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written: because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes, [to thresh] in hope of partaking.

updv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we sowed to you(note:){+}(:note) spiritual things, is it a great matter if we will reap your{+} carnal things?

updv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others partake of [this] right over you(note:){+}(:note), do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the good news of Christ.

updv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Don't you(note:){+}(:note) know that those who work about sacred things eat [of] the things of the temple, [and] those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

updv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ Even so the Lord directed that those who proclaim the good news should live of the good news.

updv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things: and I do not write these things that it may be so done in my case; for [it was] good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorifying void.

updv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the good news, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid on me; for woe is to me, if I do not preach the good news.

updv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I participate in this of my own will, I have a reward: but if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

updv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That, when I preach the good news, I may make the good news without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the good news.

updv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I was free from all [men,] I became a slave to all, that I might gain the more.

updv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

updv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to those who are without the law, as without the law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I might gain those who are without the law.

updv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.

updv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I do all things for the sake of the good news, that I may be a copartner of it.

updv@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Don't you(note:){+}(:note) know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Even so run; that you{+} may attain.

updv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

updv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so I fight, not as beating the air:

updv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I buffet my body, and bring it into slavery: lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disapproved.
