\r\n 1\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 2\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 3\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 4\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Have we not power to eat and to drink? 5\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as<\/span> the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 6\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 7\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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? 8\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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? 10\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Or saith he it<\/span> altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this<\/span> is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it<\/span> a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If others be partakers of this<\/span> power over you, are<\/span> not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things<\/span> of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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<\/span> better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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! 17\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel<\/span> is committed unto me. 18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>What is my reward then? Verily<\/span> that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 19\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For though I be free from all men,<\/span> yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21\u00a0<\/a><\/span>To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22\u00a0<\/a><\/span>To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men,<\/span> that I might by all means save some. 23\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And this I do for the gospel\u2019s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. <\/span> 24\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it<\/span> to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27\u00a0<\/a><\/span>But I keep under my body, and bring it<\/span> into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. <\/div>
