1 Corinthians 9:4-15

MSTC(i) 4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 5 Either, have we not power to lead about a sister to wife as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 6 Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do? 7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own cost? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit? Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk? 8 Say I these things after the manner of men? Or sayeth not the law the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." Doth God take thought for oxen? 10 Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope. 11 If we sow unto you spiritual things: is it a great thing if we reap your carnal things? 12 If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do ye not understand how that they which minister in the temple, have their finding of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14 Even so also did the Lord ordain, that they which preach the gospel, should live of the gospel. 15 But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.
