* Have we (5719 ) not power to eat (5629 ) and to drink (5629 )? * Have we (5719 ) not power to lead about (5721 ) a sister , a wife , as well as other apostles , and as the brethren of the Lord , and Cephas ? * Or I only and Barnabas , have not we (5719 ) power to forbear working (5738 )? * Who goeth a warfare (5731 ) any time at his own charges ? who planteth (5719 ) a vineyard , and eateth (5719 ) not of the fruit thereof ? or who feedeth (5719 ) a flock , and eateth (5719 ) not of the milk of the flock ? * Say I (5719 ) these things as a man ? or saith (5719 ) not the law the same also ? * For it is written (5769 ) in the law of Moses , Thou shalt not muzzle (5692 ) the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn (5723 ). Doth God take care (5719 ) for oxen ? * Or saith he (5719 ) it altogether for our sakes ? For our sakes , no doubt , this is written (5648 ): that he that ploweth (5723 ) should (5719 ) plow (5721 ) in hope ; and that he that thresheth (5723 ) in hope should be partaker (5721 ) of his hope . * If we have sown (5656 ) unto you spiritual things , is it a great thing if we shall reap (5692 ) your carnal things ? * If others be partakers (5719 ) of this power over you , are not we rather ? Nevertheless we have not used (5662 ) this power ; but suffer (5719 ) all things , lest we should (5632 ) hinder the gospel of Christ . * Do ye not know (5758 ) that they which minister (5740 ) about holy things live (5719 ) of the things of the temple ? and they which wait (5723 ) at the altar are partakers (5736 ) with the altar ? * Even so hath the Lord ordained (5656 ) that they which preach (5723 ) the gospel should live (5721 ) of the gospel . * But I have used (5662 ) none of these things : neither have I written (5656 ) these things , that it should be so done (5638 ) unto me : for it were better for me to die (5629 ), than that any man should make my glorying void (5661 ).
