1 Corinthians 9:5-17

  5 G3378 Do we not G2192 have G1849 authority G79 [²a sister G1135 ³a wife G4013 ¹to lead about], G5613 as G2532 also G3588 the G3062 rest G652 of the apostles, G2532 and G3588 the G80 brothers G3588 of the G2962 Lord, G2532 and G* Cephas?

  6 G2228 Or G3441 only G1473 I G2532 and G* Barnabas G3756 have not G2192   G1849 authority G3588   G3361 to not G2038 work?

  7 G5100 Who G4754 soldiers G2398 by his own G3800 rations G4218 at any time? G5100 Who G5452 plants G290 a vineyard, G2532 and G1537 from G3588 the G2590 fruit G1473 of it G3756 does not G2068 eat? G2228 or G5100 who G4165 tends G4167 a flock, G2532 and G1537 from G3588 the G1051 milk G3588 of the G4167 flock G3756 does not G2068 eat?

  8 G3361 Is it G2596 according to G444 a man G3778 these things G2980 I speak, G2228 or G3780 does not G2532 also G3588 the G3551 law G3778 say these things ? G3004  

  9 G1722 For in G1063   G3588 the G* law of Moses G3551   G1125 it has been written, G3756 You shall not G5392 muzzle G1016 an ox G248 threshing. G3361 Is not G3588 the G1016 ox G3199 a care G3588   G2316 to God?

  10 G2228 Or G1223 because of G1473 us G3843 assuredly G3004 it says? G1223 [²because of G1473 ³us G1063 ¹For] G1125 it was written G3754 that, G1909 [⁵in G1680 ⁶hope G3784 ³ought G3588 ¹The one G722 ²plowing G722 ⁴to plow], G2532 and G3588 the one G248 threshing G3588 [⁴of the thing G1680 ⁵of his hope G1473   G3348 ³ is to partake G1909 ¹in G1680 ²hope].

  11 G1487 If G1473 we G1473 [⁴to you G3588 ²the G4152 ³spiritual things G4687 ¹sowed], G3173 is it a great thing G1487 if G1473 we G1473 [²your G3588   G4559 ³fleshly things G2325 ¹harvest]?

  12 G1487 If G243 others G3588 [²of the G1849 ³authority G1473 ⁴ over you G3348 ¹partake], G3756 should not G3123 we more? G1473   G235 But G3756 we did not G5530 use G3588   G1849 this authority; G3778   G235 but G3956 all things G4722 we hold off, G2443 that G3361 [²not G1464 ⁴any hindrance G5100   G1325 ¹we should ³give] G3588 to the G2098 good news G3588 of the G5547 Christ.

  13 G3756 Do you not G1492 know G3754 that G3588 the ones G3588 [⁶the G2413 ⁷consecrated things G2038 ¹working G1537 ²at G3588 ³the G2413 ⁴temple G2068 ⁵shall eat]? G3588 and the ones G3588 [²the G2379 ³altar G4332 ¹taking care of G3588 ⁵the G2379 ⁶altar G4829 ⁴receive a portion of]?

  14 G3779 So G2532 also G3588 the G2962 Lord G1299 set in order G3588 for the ones G3588 [²the G2098 ³good news G2605 ¹announcing], G1537 [²from the announcing G3588 ³of the G2098 ⁴good news G2198 ¹to live].

  15 G1473 But I G1161   G3762 [²none G5530 ¹used] G3778 of these things . G3756 [²I did not G1125 ³write G1161 ¹But] G3778 these things, G2443 that G3779 thus G1096 it should happen G1722 with G1473 me. G2570 For it is good G1063   G1473 for me G3123 rather G599 to die G2228 than G3588   G2745 [⁴my boasting G1473   G2443 ¹that G5100 ²anyone G2758 ³should nullify].

  16 G1437 For if G1063   G2097 I announce good news, G3756 there is not G1510.2.3   G1473 a boasting to me; G2745   G318 for a necessity G1063   G1473 is pressed upon me; G1945   G3759 [³woe G1161 ¹but G1473 ⁴to me G1510.2.3 ²it is] G1437 if G3361 I should not G2097 announce good news.

  17 G1487 For if G1063   G1635 I willingly G3778 do this, G4238   G3408 [²a wage G2192 ¹I have]; G1487 but if G1161   G210 unwillingly, G3622 [²a management G4100 ¹I am entrusted with].
