1 Corinthians - Chapter: 9


9:1	Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not sene Iesus Christ our Lorde?
9:2	Are not ye my worke in the Lorde? Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet am I vnto you. For the seale of myne Apostleshyppe are ye in the Lord.
9:3	Mine aunswere to them that axe me, is this.
9:4	Haue we not power to eate, and to drinke?
9:5	Either haue we not power to leade aboute a syster to wyfe as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
9:6	Either onely I and Barnabas haue not power this to do?
9:7	who goeth a warfare anye time at hys owne cost? Who planteth a vineiarde, and eateth not of the fruite? Who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylke?
9:8	Saye I these thinges after the maner of men? Or sayeth not the lawe the same also?
9:9	For it is written in the lawe of Moyses. Thou shalt not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doeth God take thought for oxen?
9:10	Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes no doubte this is written: that he whiche eareth, shoulde eare in hope: & that he whych thresheth in hope, should be partaker of hys hope.
9:11	Yf we sowe vnto you spyrytuall thinges: is it a great thinge yf we reape youre carnall thinges.
9:12	Yf other be partakers of this power ouer you: wherfore are not we rather? Neuerthelesse we haue not vsed thys power but suffer all thinges leste we shoulde hinder the Gospell of Christe
9:13	Do ye not vnderstande howe that they whiche minister in the temple, haue their fyndynge of the temple? And they whych wayte at the aulter, are partakers of the aulter?
9:14	Euen so also dyd the Lord ordaine, that they which preach the Gospel, shoulde lyue of the Gospell.
9:15	But I haue vsed none of these thinges. Neither wrote I these thinges, that it should be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye, then that anye shoulde take this reioysinge from me.
9:16	In that I preache the Gospel, I haue nothinge to reioyce of. For necessytye is put vnto me. Wo is it vnto me yf I preach not the Gospel.
9:17	Yf I do it wyth a good wil, I haue a rewarde. But yf I do it against my wyl, an offyce is committed vnto me.
9:18	What is my reward then? Verelye, that when I preache the Gospell, I make the Gospell of Christ fre, that I misuse not myne authoryte in the Gospell.
9:19	For though I be fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunte vnto all men, that I myght winne the mo.
9:20	Vnto the Iewes, I became as a Iewe, to winne the Iewes. To them that were vnder the lawe, was I made as though I had ben vnder the lawe, to winne them that were vnder the lawe.
9:21	To them that were without lawe, became I as though I had ben without the lawe (when I was not without lawe as perteyninge to God, but vnder a lawe as concerninge Christe) to wynne them that were without lawe.
9:22	To the weake became I as weake, to wynne the weake. In all thinge I fashioned my selfe to all men, to saue at the lest waye some.
9:23	And thys I do for the Gospel sake, that I might haue my parte thereof.
9:24	Perceyue ye not howe that they whyche runne in a course, runne all, yet but one receiueth the reward. So runne that ye maye obtayne.
9:25	Euery man that proueth maysters abstaineth from all thinges. And they do it to obtaine a corruptible croune: but we to obtaine an vncorruptible croune.
9:26	I therfore so runne, not as an uncertaine thinge. So fight I not as one that beateth the ayer:
9:27	but I tame my bodye and bringe it into subieccion, leste after that I haue preached to other, I my selfe should be a cast away.


9:1	Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my worke in the Lord?
9:2	If I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet doutlesse I am vnto you: for ye are the seale of mine Apostleship in the Lord.
9:3	My defence to them that examine mee, is this,
9:4	Haue we not power to eat and to drinke?
9:5	Or haue we not power to lead about a wife being a sister, as well as the rest of the Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
9:6	Or I only and Barnabas, haue not we power not to worke?
9:7	Who goeth a warfare any time at his owne coste? who planteth a vineyarde, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the milke of the flocke?
9:8	Say I these thinges according to man? saith not the Lawe the same also?
9:9	For it is written in the Lawe of Moses, Thou shalt not mussell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: doeth God take care for oxen?
9:10	Either saith hee it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes no doubt it is written, that he which eareth, should eare in hope, and that he that thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope.
9:11	If wee haue sowen vnto you spirituall thinges, is it a great thing if we reape your carnall thinges?
9:12	If others with you bee partakers of this power, are not we rather? neuerthelesse, we haue not vsed this power: but suffer all things, that we should not hinder the Gospel of Christ.
9:13	Doe ye not knowe, that they which minister about the holy things, eate of the things of the Temple? and they which waite at the altar, are partakers with the altar?
9:14	So also hath the Lord ordeined, that they which preach ye Gospel, should liue of the Gospel.
9:15	But I haue vsed none of these things: neither wrote I these things, that it should be so done vnto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my reioycing vaine.
9:16	For though I preach the Gospel, I haue nothing to reioyce of: for necessitie is laid vpon me, and woe is vnto me, if I preach not the Gospel.
9:17	For if I do it willingly, I haue a reward, but if I do it against my will, notwithstanding the dispensation is committed vnto me.
9:18	What is my reward then? verely that when I preach the Gospel, I make the Gospel of Christ free, that I abuse not mine authoritie in ye Gospel.
9:19	For though I bee free from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruant vnto all men, that I might winne the moe.
9:20	And vnto the Iewes, I become as a Iewe, that I may winne the Iewes: to them that are vnder the Lawe, as though I were vnder the Lawe, that I may winne them that are vnder the Lawe:
9:21	To them that are without Lawe, as though I were without Lawe, (when I am not without Lawe as pertaining to God, but am in the Lawe through Christ) that I may winne them that are without Lawe:
9:22	To the weake I become as weake, that I may winne the weake: I am made all thinges 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	Knowe ye not, that they which runne in a race, runne all, yet one receiueth the price? so runne that ye may obtaine.
9:25	And euery man that proueth masteries, abstaineth from all things: and they do it to obtaine a corruptible crowne: but we for an vncorruptible.
9:26	I therefore so runne, not as vncertainely: so fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre.
9:27	But I beate downe my body, and bring it into subiection, lest by any meanes after that I haue preached to other, I my selfe should be reproued.


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.
