Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,Selected1 Corinthians 9:3Ask

Have we not power to eat and to drink?Selected1 Corinthians 9:4Ask

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?Selected1 Corinthians 9:5Ask

Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?Selected1 Corinthians 9:6Ask

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?Selected1 Corinthians 9:7Ask

Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?Selected1 Corinthians 9:8Ask

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?Selected1 Corinthians 9:9Ask

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.Selected1 Corinthians 9:10Ask

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?Selected1 Corinthians 9:11Ask

If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.Selected1 Corinthians 9:12Ask

Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?Selected1 Corinthians 9:13Ask

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.Selected1 Corinthians 9:14Ask

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.Selected1 Corinthians 9:15Ask

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!Selected1 Corinthians 9:16Ask

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.Selected1 Corinthians 9:17Ask

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.Selected1 Corinthians 9:18Ask

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.Selected1 Corinthians 9:19Ask
