1 Corinthians 9

ECB(i) 1
THE AUTHORITY OF THE HOLY
Am I not an apostle? Am I not liberated? Saw I not indeed Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay? Are you not my work in Adonay? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet indeed, I am to you: for you are the seal of my apostleship in Adonay. 3 My pleading to them who judge me is this: 4 Have we not authority to eat and to drink? 5 Have we not authority to lead about a sister, a woman, as well as the rest of the apostles and as the brothers of Adonay and Kepha? 6 Or only I and Bar Nabi, have we not authority to not work? 7 Who wars at his own wages? Who plants a vineyard and eats not of the fruit? Or who shepherds a shepherddom and eats not of the milk of the shepherddom? 8 Speak I these as a human? Or indeed words not the torah the same also? 9 For it is scribed in the torah of Mosheh, Muzzle not the mouth of the ox that treads the corn. Deuteronomy 25:4 Is Elohim concerned with oxen? 10 Or words he most certainly for our sakes? Indeed, for our sakes, this is scribed: that whoever plows is indebted to plow in hope; and whoever threshes in hope partakes of his hope. 11 If we spore spirituals to you, is it so mega if we harvest your fleshlies? 12 If others partake of this authority over you, - not rather we? Yet we use not this authority, but endure all; lest somehow we hinder the evangelism of the Messiah. 13 Know you not that whoever works the priestal eats of the priestal precinct? and whoever waits on the sacrifice altar are co-partakers with the sacrifice altar? 14 Even thus has Adonay ordained that whoever evangelizes the evangelism lives by the evangelism. 15 And I neither use these: nor scribe I these to be thus in me: for it is good for me to die, rather than anyone void my boasting. 16 For whenever I evangelize, I have naught to boast: for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe to me, whenever I evangelize not! 17 For if I transact this voluntarily, I have a reward: but if involuntarily, an administration is entrusted to me. 18
THE REWARD OF THE HOLY
What so is my reward? That when I evangelize, I place the evangelism of the Messiah without charge, that I abuse not my authority in the evangelism. 19 For though I am liberated from all yet I am subservient to all - to gain the more. 20 And to the Yah Hudiym I become as a Yah Hudiy to gain the Yah Hudiym; to them under torah, as under torah, to gain them under torah; 21 to them untorahed, as untorahed, not being untorahed to Elohim, but entorahed to Messiah, to gain the untorahed. 22 To the frail I become as frail, to gain the frail: I become all to all, to most certainly save some. 23 And this I do for sake of the evangelism, to become a co-partaker. 24 Know you not, that whoever runs in a stadium, indeed all run, but one takes the umpirage? Run thus - to overtake. 25 And everyone who agonizes for the mastery is self-controlled in all: they indeed, to take a corruptible wreath; but we an incorruptible. 26 So thus I run - not as uncertainly; thus I fistfight - not as one flogging the air: 27 but I subdue my body and bring it to servitude: lest somehow, having preached to others, I myself become disapproved.
