1 Corinthians 9:4-15

Matthew(i) 4 Haue we not power to eate, and to drinke? 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? 6 Either onely I and Barnabas haue not power this to do? 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? 8 Saye I these thinges after the maner of men? Or sayeth not the lawe the same also? 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? 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. 11 Yf we sowe vnto you spyrytuall thinges: is it a great thinge yf we reape youre carnall thinges. 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 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? 14 Euen so also dyd the Lord ordaine, that they which preach the Gospel, shoulde lyue of the Gospell. 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.
