9:1 Am
I
not
free
Am
I
not
an
apostle
Have
I
not
seen
Jesus
our
Lord
Are
not
you
my
workmanship
in
the
Lord
9:2 If
to
others
I
am
not
an
apostle,
at
least
I
am
to
you,
for
you
are
the
seal
of
my
apostleship
in
the
Lord.
9:3 This
is
my
defense
to
those
who
would
examine
me.
9:4 Do
we
not
have
the
right
to
eat
and
drink
9:5 Do
we
not
have
the
right
to
take
along
a
believing
wife,
as
do
the
other
apostles
and
the
brothers
of
the
Lord
and
Cephas
9:6 Or
is
it
only
Barnabas
and
I
who
have
no
right
to
refrain
from
working
for
a
living
9:7 Who
serves
as
a
soldier
at
his
own
expense
Who
plants
a
vineyard
without
eating
any
of
its
fruit
Or
who
tends
a
flock
without
getting
some
of
the
milk
9:8 Do
I
say
these
things
on
human
authority
Does
not
the
Law
say
the
same
9:9 For
it
is
written
in
the
Law
of
Moses,
"You
shall
not
muzzle
an
ox
when
it
treads
out
the
grain."
Is
it
for
oxen
that
God
is
concerned
9:10 Does
he
not
speak
entirely
for
our
sake
It
was
written
for
our
sake,
because
the
plowman
should
plow
in
hope
and
the
thresher
thresh
in
hope
of
sharing
in
the
crop.
9:11 If
we
have
sown
spiritual
things
among
you,
is
it
too
much
if
we
reap
material
things
from
you
9:12 If
others
share
this
rightful
claim
on
you,
do
not
we
even
more
Nevertheless,
we
have
not
made
use
of
this
right,
but
we
endure
anything
rather
than
put
an
obstacle
in
the
way
of
the
gospel
of
Christ.
9:13 Do
you
not
know
that
those
who
are
employed
in
the
temple
service
get
their
food
from
the
temple,
and
those
who
serve
at
the
altar
share
in
the
sacrificial
offerings
9:14 In
the
same
way,
the
Lord
commanded
that
those
who
proclaim
the
gospel
should
get
their
living
by
the
gospel.
9:15 But
I
have
made
no
use
of
any
of
these
rights,
nor
am
I
writing
these
things
to
secure
any
such
provision.
For
I
would
rather
die
than
have
anyone
deprive
me
of
my
ground
for
boasting.
9:16 For
if
I
preach
the
gospel,
that
gives
me
no
ground
for
boasting.
For
necessity
is
laid
upon
me.
Woe
to
me
if
I
do
not
preach
the
gospel!
9:17 For
if
I
do
this
of
my
own
will,
I
have
a
reward,
but
if
not
of
my
own
will,
I
am
still
entrusted
with
a
stewardship.
9:18 What
then
is
my
reward
That
in
my
preaching
I
may
present
the
gospel
free
of
charge,
so
as
not
to
make
full
use
of
my
right
in
the
gospel.
9:19 For
though
I
am
free
from
all,
I
have
made
myself
a
servant
to
all,
that
I
might
win
more
of
them.
9:20 To
the
Jews
I
became
as
a
Jew,
in
order
to
win
Jews.
To
those
under
the
law
I
became
as
one
under
the
law
(though
not
being
myself
under
the
law)
that
I
might
win
those
under
the
law.
9:21 To
those
outside
the
law
I
became
as
one
outside
the
law
(not
being
outside
the
law
of
God
but
under
the
law
of
Christ)
that
I
might
win
those
outside
the
law.
9:22 To
the
weak
I
became
weak,
that
I
might
win
the
weak.
I
have
become
all
things
to
all
people,
that
by
all
means
I
might
save
some.
9:23 I
do
it
all
for
the
sake
of
the
gospel,
that
I
may
share
with
them
in
its
blessings.
9:24 Do
you
not
know
that
in
a
race
all
the
runners
run,
but
only
one
receives
the
prize
So
run
that
you
may
obtain
it.
9:25 Every
athlete
exercises
self-control
in
all
things.
They
do
it
to
receive
a
perishable
wreath,
but
we
an
imperishable.
9:26 So
I
do
not
run
aimlessly;
I
do
not
box
as
one
beating
the
air.
9:27 But
I
discipline
my
body
and
keep
it
under
control,
lest
after
preaching
to
others
I
myself
should
be
disqualified.
