1 Corinthians - Chapter: 9


9:1	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?
9:2	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.
9:3	My defence to those who examine me in this;
9:4	have we not authority to eat and to drink?
9:5	have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
9:6	or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to work?
9:7	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?
9:8	According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things?
9:9	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?
9:10	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.
9:11	If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great `is it' if we your fleshly things do reap?
9:12	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.
9:13	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?
9:14	so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.
9:15	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;
9:16	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;
9:17	for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted!
9:18	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;
9:19	for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;
9:20	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;
9:21	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;
9:22	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.
9:23	And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;
9:24	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;
9:25	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;
9:26	I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;
9:27	but I chastise my body, and bring `it' into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.


9:1	Am I not an Apostle? am I not fre? have 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 vnto you. For the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the lorde.
9:3	Myne answer to them that axe me is this.
9:4	Have we not power to eate and to drynke?
9:5	Ether have we not power to leade about a sister to wyfe as wel as other Apostles and as the brethren of the lorde and Cephas?
9:6	Ether only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?
9:7	who goeth a warfare eny tyme at his awne cost? who planteth a vynearde and eateth not of the frute? Who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylke?
9:8	Saye I these thinges after the manner of men? Or sayth not the lawe the same also?
9:9	For it ys written in the lawe of Moses. Thou shall not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for oxen?
9:10	Ether sayth he it not all to gedder for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he which eareth shuld eare in hope: and that he which thressheth in hope shuld be parttaker of his hope.
9:11	Yf we sowe vnto you spirituall thynges: is it a greate thynge yf we reepe youre carnall thynges
9:12	Yf other be parttakers of this power over you? wherfore are not we rather.Neverthelesse we have not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges lest we shuld hynder the gospell of Christ.
9:13	Do ye not vnderstoder how that they which minister in the temple have their fyndynge of the temple? And they which wayte at the aulter are partakers with ye aultre?
9:14	Even so also dyd ye lorde ordayne that they which preache ye gospell shuld live of the gospell.
9:15	But I have vsed none of these thinges. Nether wrote I these thinges that it shuld be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye the yt eny man shnld take this reioysinge from me
9:16	In that I preache the gospell I have nothinge to reioyce of. For necessite is put vnto me. Wo is it vnto me yf I preache not the gospell.
9:17	If I do it with a good will I have a rewarde. But yf I do it agaynst my will an office is committed vnto me.
9:18	What is my rewarde then? Verely that whe I preache the gospell I make the gospell of Christ fre yt I misvse not myne auctorite in ye gospel
9:19	For though I be fre from all men yet have I made my silfe servaunt vnto all men that I myght wynne the moo.
9:20	Vnto the Iewes I became as a Iewe to winne ye Iewes. To the that were vnder the lawe was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe to wynne the that were vnder the lawe.
9:21	To them that were without lawe be ca I as though I had bene without lawe (whe I was not without lawe as perteyninge to god but vnder a lawe as concerninge Christ) to wynne the that were without lawe.
9:22	To the weake became I as weake to wynne the weake. In all thinge I fassioned my silfe to all men to save at ye lest waye some.
9:23	And this I do for the gospels sake that I might have my parte therof.
9:24	Perceave ye not how that they which runne in a course runne all yet but one receaveth the rewarde. So runne that ye maye obtayne.
9:25	Euery man yt proveth masteryes abstaineth from all thinges. And they do it to obtayne a corruptible croune: but we to obtayne an vncorruptible croune:
9:26	I therfore so runne not as at an vncertayne thinge. So fyght I not as one yt beateth the ayer:
9:27	but I tame my body and bringe it into subieccio lest after that I have preached to other I my silfe shuld be a castawaye.


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.
