6 Or|strong="G2228" I|strong="G1473" only|strong="G3441" and|strong="G2532" Barnabas, have|strong="G2192" we|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G2192" right|strong="G1849" to|strong="G2532" forbear working|strong="G2038"?

9 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G1063" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551" of|strong="G2316" Moses|strong="G3475", Thou|strong="G1063" shalt|strong="G5392" not|strong="G3756" muzzle|strong="G5392" the|strong="G1722" ox|strong="G1016" when|strong="G1722" he|strong="G3588" treadeth out|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1722" corn. Is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G1063" for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1722" oxen|strong="G1016" that|strong="G3588" God|strong="G2316" careth|strong="G3199",
10 or|strong="G2228" saith|strong="G3004" he|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" altogether|strong="G3843" for|strong="G1063" our|strong="G2532" sake|strong="G1223"? Yea|strong="G2532", for|strong="G1063" our|strong="G2532" sake|strong="G1223" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125": because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" ploweth ought|strong="G3784" to|strong="G2532" plow in|strong="G1909" hope|strong="G1680", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" thresheth, to thresh in|strong="G1909" hope|strong="G1680" of|strong="G1223" partaking.
11 If|strong="G1487" we|strong="G2249" sowed|strong="G4687" unto|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" spiritual|strong="G4152" things|strong="G3588", is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G1487" a|strong="G1487" great|strong="G3173" matter if|strong="G1487" we|strong="G2249" shall|strong="G2325" reap|strong="G2325" your|strong="G1487" carnal|strong="G4559" things|strong="G3588"?
12 If|strong="G1487" others|strong="G3588" partake|strong="G3348" of|strong="G2098" this right|strong="G1849" over|strong="G1849" you|strong="G5210", do|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3756" we|strong="G2249" yet|strong="G5210" more|strong="G3123"? Nevertheless|strong="G3756" we|strong="G2249" did|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3756" use|strong="G5530" this|strong="G3778" right|strong="G1849"; but|strong="G1487" we|strong="G2249" bear|strong="G2443" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956", that|strong="G2443" we|strong="G2249" may|strong="G2443" cause|strong="G1325" no|strong="G3756" hindrance|strong="G1464" to|strong="G2443" the|strong="G3956" gospel|strong="G2098" of|strong="G2098" Christ|strong="G5547".
13 Know|strong="G1492" ye|strong="G3754" not|strong="G3756" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" minister|strong="G2038" about|strong="G3754" sacred|strong="G2413" things|strong="G3588" eat|strong="G2068" of the|strong="G1537" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" temple|strong="G2413", and they|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" wait|strong="G4332" upon|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1537" altar|strong="G2379" have|strong="G3748" their|strong="G2068" portion with|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" altar|strong="G2379"?
14 Even|strong="G2532" so|strong="G3779" did|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" ordain|strong="G3779" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" which|strong="G3588" proclaim|strong="G2605" the|strong="G2532" gospel|strong="G2098" should|strong="G3588" live|strong="G2198" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" gospel|strong="G2098".
15 But|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" used|strong="G5530" none|strong="G3762" of|strong="G1722" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778": and|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" write|strong="G1125" not|strong="G3756" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" that|strong="G2443" it|strong="G1161" may|strong="G2443" be|strong="G1096" so|strong="G3779" done|strong="G1096" in|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1722" case|strong="G3588": for|strong="G1063" it were good|strong="G2570" for|strong="G1063" me|strong="G1473" rather|strong="G3123" to|strong="G2443" die, than|strong="G2228" that|strong="G2443" any|strong="G3762" man|strong="G3778" should|strong="G3588" make|strong="G2758" my|strong="G1722" glorying|strong="G2745" void|strong="G2758".
16 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1473" preach|strong="G2097" the|strong="G1063" gospel|strong="G2097", I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" nothing|strong="G3756" to|strong="G3756" glory|strong="G2745" of|strong="G2097"; for|strong="G1063" necessity is|strong="G1510" laid|strong="G1945" upon|strong="G1945" me|strong="G1473"; for|strong="G1063" woe|strong="G3759" is|strong="G1510" unto|strong="G2097" me|strong="G1473", if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1473" preach|strong="G2097" not|strong="G3756" the|strong="G1063" gospel|strong="G2097".
17 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" I|strong="G1161" do|strong="G4238" this|strong="G3778" of|strong="G2192" mine|strong="G2192" own will|strong="G3778", I|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" reward|strong="G3408": but|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" not|strong="G2192" of|strong="G2192" mine|strong="G2192" own will|strong="G3778", I|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" stewardship|strong="G3622" intrusted to|strong="G1161" me|strong="G2192".
18 What|strong="G5101" then|strong="G3767" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G1722" reward|strong="G3408"? That|strong="G2443", when|strong="G1722" I|strong="G1473" preach|strong="G2097" the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2098", I|strong="G1473" may|strong="G2443" make|strong="G5087" the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2098" without|strong="G3361" charge|strong="G1849", so|strong="G2443" as|strong="G1519" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G1519" use|strong="G2710" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" full|strong="G2710" my|strong="G1722" right|strong="G1849" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2098".
19 For|strong="G1063" though|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1063" was|strong="G1510" free|strong="G1658" from|strong="G1537" all|strong="G3956" men, I|strong="G1063" brought myself|strong="G1683" under|strong="G1537" bondage|strong="G1402" to|strong="G2443" all|strong="G3956", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G1063" might|strong="G3956" gain|strong="G2770" the|strong="G3956" more|strong="G4119".
20 And|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453" I|strong="G2532" became|strong="G1096" as|strong="G5613" a|strong="G1096" Jew|strong="G2453", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2532" gain|strong="G2770" Jews|strong="G2453"; to|strong="G2443" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551", as|strong="G5613" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551", not|strong="G3361" being|strong="G1510" myself under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2532" gain|strong="G2770" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551";
21 to|strong="G2443" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" without|strong="G3361" law|strong="G1772", as|strong="G5613" without|strong="G3361" law|strong="G1772", not|strong="G3361" being|strong="G1510" without|strong="G3361" law|strong="G1772" to|strong="G2443" God|strong="G2316", but|strong="G3361" under|strong="G1772" law|strong="G1772" to|strong="G2443" Christ|strong="G5547", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G5613" might|strong="G2316" gain|strong="G2770" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" without|strong="G3361" law|strong="G1772".
22 To|strong="G2443" the|strong="G3956" weak I|strong="G2443" became|strong="G1096" weak, that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G2443" might|strong="G4982" gain|strong="G2770" the|strong="G3956" weak: I|strong="G2443" am|strong="G1096" become|strong="G1096" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" to|strong="G2443" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G2443" may|strong="G2443" by|strong="G3956" all|strong="G3956" means|strong="G3843" save|strong="G4982" some|strong="G5100".
23 And|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" do|strong="G4160" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" for|strong="G1223" the|strong="G3956" gospel|strong="G2098"’s sake|strong="G1223", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G1161" may|strong="G2443" be|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" joint partaker|strong="G4791" thereof|strong="G4791".
24 Know|strong="G1492" ye|strong="G3754" not|strong="G3756" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G1161" which|strong="G3588" run|strong="G5143" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G1722" race|strong="G4712" run|strong="G5143" all|strong="G3956", but|strong="G1161" one|strong="G1520" receiveth|strong="G2983" the|strong="G1722" prize|strong="G1017"? Even|strong="G1161" so|strong="G3779" run|strong="G5143", that|strong="G3754" ye|strong="G3754" may|strong="G2443" attain.
25 And|strong="G1161" every|strong="G3956" man|strong="G3956" that|strong="G2443" striveth in|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" games is|strong="G3588" temperate|strong="G1467" in|strong="G3956" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956". Now|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" do it to|strong="G2443" receive|strong="G2983" a|strong="G2983" corruptible|strong="G5349" crown|strong="G4735"; but|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2249" an|strong="G1161" incorruptible.
26 I|strong="G1473" therefore|strong="G5106" so|strong="G3779" run|strong="G5143", as|strong="G5613" not|strong="G3756" uncertainly; so|strong="G3779" fight|strong="G3779" I|strong="G1473", as|strong="G5613" not|strong="G3756" beating|strong="G1194" the|strong="G5613" air:
27 but|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" buffet my|strong="G1473" body|strong="G4983", and|strong="G2532" bring|strong="G1396" it|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1096" bondage: lest|strong="G3361" by|strong="G2532" any|strong="G3361" means|strong="G3381", after|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" preached|strong="G2784" to|strong="G2532" others|strong="G3588", I|strong="G1473" myself|strong="G1473" should|strong="G3588" be|strong="G1096" rejected.
