1 Corinthians 9 : 1 (YLT)

Am not I an apostle? am not I free? Jesus Christ our Lord have I not seen? my work are not ye in the Lord?

1 Corinthians 9 : 2 (YLT)

if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9 : 3 (YLT)

My defence to those who examine me in this;

1 Corinthians 9 : 4 (YLT)

have we not authority to eat and to drink?

1 Corinthians 9 : 5 (YLT)

have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

1 Corinthians 9 : 6 (YLT)

or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to work?

1 Corinthians 9 : 7 (YLT)

who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?

1 Corinthians 9 : 8 (YLT)

According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things?

1 Corinthians 9 : 9 (YLT)

for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;` for the oxen doth God care?

1 Corinthians 9 : 10 (YLT)

or because of us by all means doth He say *it ? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope.

1 Corinthians 9 : 11 (YLT)

If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great *is it if we your fleshly things do reap?

1 Corinthians 9 : 12 (YLT)

if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

1 Corinthians 9 : 13 (YLT)

Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple -- of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar -- with the altar are partakers?

1 Corinthians 9 : 14 (YLT)

so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.

1 Corinthians 9 : 15 (YLT)

And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for *it is good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my glorying void;

1 Corinthians 9 : 16 (YLT)

for if I may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me, for necessity is laid upon me, and wo is to me if I may not proclaim good news;

1 Corinthians 9 : 17 (YLT)

for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted!

1 Corinthians 9 : 18 (YLT)

What, then, is my reward? -- that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news;

1 Corinthians 9 : 19 (YLT)

for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;

1 Corinthians 9 : 20 (YLT)

and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain;

1 Corinthians 9 : 21 (YLT)

to those without law, as without law -- (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain those without law;

1 Corinthians 9 : 22 (YLT)

I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

1 Corinthians 9 : 23 (YLT)

And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;

1 Corinthians 9 : 24 (YLT)

have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

1 Corinthians 9 : 25 (YLT)

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

1 Corinthians 9 : 26 (YLT)

I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;

1 Corinthians 9 : 27 (YLT)

but I chastise my body, and bring *it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.
