1 Corinthians - Chapter: 9


9:1	Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? Are not you my worke in the Lord?
9:2	If I bee not an Apostle vnto others, yet doubtlesse I am to you: for the seale of mine Apostleship are yee in the Lord.
9:3	Mine answere to them that doe examine me, is this:
9:4	Haue wee not power to eate and to drinke?
9:5	Haue we not power to lead about a sister a wife aswel as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
9:6	Or I onely and Barnabas, haue not we power to forbeare working?
9:7	Who goeth a warfare any time at his owne charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruite thereof? or who feedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the milke of the flocke?
9:8	Say I these things as a man? or saith not the Law the same also?
9:9	For it is written in the Law of Moyses, Thou shalt not muzzell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: doth God take care for oxen?
9:10	Or saith hee it altogether for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that hee that ploweth, should plow in hope: and that hee that thresheth in hope, should bee partaker of his hope.
9:11	If we haue sowen vnto you spirituall things, is it a great thing if wee shall reape your carnall things?
9:12	If others bee partakers of this power ouer you, are not we rather? Neuerthelesse, we haue not vsed this power: but suffer all things, lest wee should hinder the Gospel of Christ.
9:13	Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things, liue of the things of the Temple? and they which wait at the altar, are partakers with the altar?
9:14	Euen so hath the Lord ordeined, that they which preach the Gospel, should liue of the Gospel.
9:15	But I haue vsed none of these things. Neither haue I written these things, that it should bee so done vnto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my glorying voyd.
9:16	For though I preach the Gospel, I haue nothing to glorie of: for necessitie is laid vpon mee, yea, woe is vnto me, if I preach not the Gospel.
9:17	For if I doe this thing willingly, I haue a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the Gospel is committed vnto me.
9:18	What is my reward then? verily that when I preach the Gospel, I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the Gospel.
9:19	For though I bee free from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruant vnto all, that I might gaine the more.
9:20	And vnto the Iewes, I became as a Iew, that I might gaine the Iewes: to them that are vnder the Law, as vnder the Law, that I might gaine them that are vnder the Law:
9:21	To them that are without Law, as without Law (being not without Law to God, but vnder the Law to Christ,) that I might gaine them that are without Law.
9:22	To the weake became I as weake, that I might gaine the weake: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all meanes saue some.
9:23	And this I doe for the Gospels sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
9:24	Know yee not that they which runne in a race, runne all, but one receiueth the price? So runne, that yee may obtaine.
9:25	And euery man that striueth for the masterie, is temperate in all things: Now they doe it to obtaine a corruptible crowne, but we an incorruptible.
9:26	I therefore so runne, not as vncertainely: so fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre:
9:27	But I keepe vnder my body, and bring it into subiection: lest that by any meanes when I haue preached to others, I my selfe should be a castaway.


9:1	Am I not an Apostle? Am I not fre? Haue I not sene Iesus Christ oure LORDE?
9:2	Are not ye my worke in the LORDE? Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet am I youre Apostle: for the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the LORDE.
9:3	Myne answere vnto them that axe me, is this:
9:4	Haue we not power to eate and drynke?
9:5	Haue we not power also to leade aboute a sister to wife, as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the LORDE, and Cephas?
9:6	Or haue onely I and Barnabas not power this to do?
9:7	Who goeth a warfare at eny tyme vpon his awne wages? Who planteth a vynyarde, and eateth not of the frute therof? Who fedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the mylke of the flocke?
9:8	Saye I these thinges after the maner of men? Sayeth not the lawe the same also?
9:9	For it is wrytten in the lawe off Moses: Thou shalt not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for the oxen?
9:10	Or sayeth he it not alltogether for oure sakes? For no doute it is wrytte for oure sakes. For he that eareth, shulde eare vpon hope: and he yt throssheth, shulde trosshe vpon hope, yt he mighte be partaker of his hope.
9:11	Yf we haue sowne vnto you spiritual thinges, is it a greate thige yf we reape yor bodely thiges?
9:12	But yf other be partakers of this power on you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuertheles we haue not vsed this power, but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hynder the Gospell off Christ.
9:13	Knowe ye not that they which laboure in the temple, haue their lyuynge of ye temple: and they that wayte at the altare, enioye the altare?
9:14	Euen thus also hath ye LORDE ordeyned, that they which preach the Gospell, shulde lyue of ye Gospell.
9:15	But I haue vsed none of these thinges. Nether wryte I therof, that it shulde be done so vnto me: for I had rather dye, the that eny man shulde brynge my reioysinge to naughte.
9:16	For in that I preach the Gospell, I neade not boost my selfe, for I must nedes do it. And wo vnto me, yff I preach not the Gospell.
9:17	Yf I do it with a good wyll, I shall haue my rewarde: but yff I do it agaynst my wyll, yet is the office commytted vnto me.
9:18	Wherfore the shal I be rewarded? (Namely therfore) that I preach the Gospell, and do the same frely for naughte, that I abuse not my libertye in ye Gospell.
9:19	For though I am fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe euery mans seruaunt, yt I mighte wynne ye moo.
9:20	Vnto the Iewes I am become as a Iewe, to wynne ye Iewes. To them that are vnder the lawe, I am become as though I were vnder the lawe, to wynne them which are vnder the lawe.
9:21	Vnto them that are without lawe, I am become as though I were without lawe (where as yet I am not without the lawe of God, but am in ye lawe of Christ) to wynne the that are without lawe.
9:22	To the weake, am I become as weake, to wynne the weake. I am become of all fasshions vnto euery man, to saue some at ye leest.
9:23	But this I do for the Gospels sake, that I mighte be partaker therof.
9:24	Knowe ye not, that they which runne in a course, runne all, yet but one receaueth the rewarde? Runne ye so, that ye maye optayne.
9:25	Euery one that proueth mastrye, absteyneth from all thinges, and they do it, that they maye optayne a corruptible crowne, but we to optayne an vncorruptible crowne.
9:26	I therfore so runne, not as at an vncertayne thinge: So fighte I, not as one yt beateth ye ayre:
9:27	but I tame my body, and brynge it in to subieccion, lest whan I preach vnto other: I my selfe be a cast awaye.


9:1	Whether Y am not fre? Am Y not apostle? Whether Y saiy not `Crist Jhesu, `oure Lord? Whether ye ben not my werk in the Lord?
9:2	And thouy to othere Y am not apostle, but netheles to you Y am; for ye ben the litle signe of myn apostlehed in the Lord.
9:3	My defense to hem that axen me, that is.
9:4	Whether we han not power to ete and drynke?
9:5	Whether we han not power to lede aboute a womman a sistir, as also othere apostlis, and britheren of the Lord, and Cefas?
9:6	Or Y aloone and Barnabas han not power to worche these thingis?
9:7	Who traueilith ony tyme with hise owne wagis? Who plauntith a vynyerd, and etith not of his fruyt? Who kepith a flok, and etith not of the mylk of the flok?
9:8	Whether aftir man Y sey these thingis? whether also the lawe seith not these thingis?
9:9	For it is writun in the lawe of Moises, Thou schalt not bynde the mouth of the ox threischynge. Whethir of oxun is charge to God?
9:10	Whether for vs he seith these thingis? For whi tho ben writun for vs; for he that erith, owith to ere in hope, and he that threischith, in hope to take fruytis.
9:11	If we sowen spiritual thingis to you, is it grete, if we repen youre fleischli thingis?
9:12	If othere ben parteneris of youre power, whi not rathere we? But we vsen not this power, but we suffren alle thingis, that we yyuen no lettyng to the euangelie of Crist.
9:13	Witen ye not, that thei that worchen in the temple, eten tho thingis that ben of the temple, and thei that seruen to the auter, ben partyneris of the auter?
9:14	So the Lord ordeynede to hem that tellen the gospel, to lyue of the gospel.
9:15	But Y vside noon of these thingis; sotheli Y wroot not these thingis, that tho be don so in me; for it is good `to me rather to die, than that ony man `auoyde my glorie.
9:16	For if Y preche the gospel, glorie is not to me, for nedelich Y mot don it; for wo to me, if Y preche not the gospel.
9:17	But if Y do this thing wilfuli, Y haue mede; but if ayens my wille, dispending is bitakun to me.
9:18	What thanne is my mede? That Y prechynge the gospel, putte the gospel with outen otheris cost, that Y vse not my power in the gospel.
9:19	Forwhi whanne Y was fre of alle men, Y made me seruaunt of alle men, to wynne the mo men.
9:20	And to Jewis Y am maad as a Jew, to wynne the Jewis; to hem that ben vndur the lawe,
9:21	as Y were vndur the lawe, whanne Y was not vndur the lawe, to wynne hem that weren vndur the lawe; to hem that weren with out lawe, as Y were with out lawe, whanne Y was not with out the lawe of God, but Y was in the lawe of Crist, to wynne hem that weren with out lawe.
9:22	Y am maad sijk to sike men, to wynne sike men; to alle men Y am maad alle thingis, to make alle men saaf.
9:23	But Y do alle thingis for the gospel, that Y be maad partener of it.
9:24	Witen ye not, that thei that rennen in a furlong, alle rennen, but oon takith the prijs? So renne ye, that ye catche.
9:25	Ech man that stryueth in fiyt, absteyneth hym fro alle thingis; and thei, that thei take a corruptible coroun, but we an vncorrupt.
9:26	Therfor Y renne so, not as `in to vncerteyn thing; thus Y fiyte, not as betynge the eir;
9:27	but Y chastise my bodi, and bryng it in to seruage; lest perauenture whanne Y preche to othere, Y my silf be maad repreuable.
