| [1]Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord? |
[1]AmG1510[G5748] I notG3756 an apostleG652? amG1510[G5748] I notG3756 freeG1658? have I notG3780 seenG3708[G5758] JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962? areG2075[G5748] notG3756 yeG5210 myG3450 workG2041 inG1722 the LordG2962? |
| [2]If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. |
[2]IfG1487 I beG1510[G5748] notG3756 an apostleG652 unto othersG243, yetG235 doubtlessG1065 I amG1510[G5748] to youG5213: forG1063 the sealG4973 of mineG1699 apostleshipG651 areG2075[G5748] yeG5210 inG1722 the LordG2962. |
| [3]My answer to them that examine me is this, |
[3]MineG1699 answerG627 to them that do examineG350[G5723] meG1691 isG2076[G5748] thisG3778, |
| [4]Have we not power to eat and to drink? |
[4]Have weG2192[G5719] notG3378 powerG1849 to eatG5315[G5629] andG2532 to drinkG4095?[G5629] |
| [5]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? |
[5]Have weG2192[G5719] notG3378 powerG1849 to lead aboutG4013[G5721] a sisterG79, a wifeG1135, as well asG5613[G2532] otherG3062 apostlesG652, andG2532 as the brethrenG80 of the LordG2962, andG2532 CephasG2786? |
| [6]Or I only and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear working? |
[6]OrG2228 IG1473 onlyG3441 andG2532 BarnabasG921, haveG2192 notG3756 weG2192[G5719] powerG1849 to forbearG3361 workingG2038?[G5738] |
| [7]Who goeth a warfare at any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of its fruit? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? |
[7]WhoG5101 goeth a warfareG4754[G5731] any time atG4218 his ownG2398 chargesG3800? whoG5101 plantethG5452[G5719] a vineyardG290, andG2532 eatethG2068[G5719] notG3756 ofG1537 the fruitG2590 thereofG846? orG2228 whoG5101 feedethG4165[G5719] a flockG4167, andG2532 eatethG2068[G5719] notG3756 ofG1537 the milkG1051 of the flockG4167? |
| [8]Do I say these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? |
[8]Say IG2980[G5719] these thingsG5023 asG3361[G2596] a manG444? orG2228 saithG3004[G5719] notG3780 the lawG3551 the sameG5023 alsoG2532? |
| [9]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? |
[9]ForG1063 it is writtenG1125[G5769] inG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzleG5392[G5692] the mouth of the oxG1016 that treadeth out the cornG248[G5723].[G3361] DothG3199 GodG2316 take careG3199[G5719] for oxenG1016? |
| [10]Or saith he this 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. |
[10]OrG2228 saith heG3004[G5719] it altogetherG3843 forG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223? ForG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223, no doubtG1063, this is writtenG1125[G5648]: thatG3754 he that plowethG722[G5723] shouldG3784[G5719] plowG722[G5721] inG1909 hopeG1680; andG2532 that he that threshethG248[G5723] in hopeG1680 should be partakerG3348[G5721] ofG1909 hisG846 hopeG1680. |
| [11]If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? |
[11]IfG1487 weG2249 have sownG4687[G5656] unto youG5213 spiritual thingsG4152, is it a great thingG3173 ifG1487 weG2249 shall reapG2325[G5692] yourG5216 carnal thingsG4559? |
| [12]If others are 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. |
[12]IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348[G5719] of this powerG1849 over youG5216, are notG3756 weG2249 ratherG3123? NeverthelessG235 we haveG5530 notG3756 usedG5530[G5662] thisG5026 powerG1849; butG235 sufferG4722[G5719] all thingsG3956, lestG3363 we shouldG1325[G5632][G5100] hinderG1464 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. |
| [13]Do ye not know that they who minister about holy things live from the things of the temple, and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? |
[13]Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 they which ministerG2038[G5740] about holy thingsG2413 liveG2068[G5719] of the things ofG1537 the templeG2411? and they which waitG4332[G5723] at the altarG2379 are partakersG4829[G5736] with the altarG2379? |
| [14]Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. |
[14]EvenG2532 soG3779 hathG1299 the LordG2962 ordainedG1299[G5656] that they which preachG2605[G5723] the gospelG2098 should liveG2198[G5721] ofG1537 the gospelG2098. |
| [15]But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. |
[15]ButG1161 IG1473 have usedG5530[G5662] noneG3762 of these thingsG5130:[G1161] neitherG3756 have I writtenG1125[G5656] these thingsG5023, thatG2443 it should beG1096 soG3779 doneG1096[G5638] untoG1722 meG1698: forG1063 it were betterG3123 for meG3427 to dieG599[G5629][G2570], thanG2228 thatG2443 any manG5100 should makeG2758 myG3450 gloryingG2745 voidG2758.[G5661] |
| [16]For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel! |
[16]ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097[G5735], IG3427 haveG2076[G5748] nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laid uponG1945[G5736] meG3427; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG2076[G5748] unto meG3427, ifG3362 I preachG2097 notG3362 G2097the gospelG5735 |
| [17]For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me. |
[17]ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238[G5719] this thingG5124 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192[G5719] a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100.[G5769] |
| [18]What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my power in the gospel. |
[18]WhatG5101 isG2076[G5748] myG3427 rewardG3408 thenG3767? Verily thatG2443, when I preach the gospelG2097[G5734], I may makeG5087[G5661] the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547 without chargeG77, thatG1519 I abuseG2710[G5664] notG3361 myG3450 powerG1849 inG1722 the gospelG2098. |
| [19]For though I am free from all men, yet I have made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more. |
[19]ForG1063 though I beG5607[G5752] freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402[G5656] unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770[G5661] the moreG4119. |
| [20]And to 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; |
[20]AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096[G5633] asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770[G5661] the JewsG2453; to them that are underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770[G5661] them that are underG5259 the lawG3551; |
| [21]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. |
[21]To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG5607[G5752] notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770[G5661] them that are without lawG459. |
| [22]To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. |
[22]To the weakG772 became IG1096[G5633] asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770[G5661] the weakG772: I am madeG1096[G5754] all thingsG3956 to allG3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982[G5661] someG5100. |
| [23]And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. |
[23]AndG1161 thisG5124 I doG4160[G5719] forG1223 the gospel'sG2098 sakeG1223, thatG2443 I might beG1096[G5638] partakerG4791 thereofG846 with youG4791. |
| [24]Know ye not, that they who run in a race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. |
[24]Know yeG1492[G5758] notG3756 thatG3754 they which runG5143[G5723] inG1722 a raceG4712 runG5143[G5719] allG3956[G3303], butG1161 oneG1520 receivethG2983[G5719] the prizeG1017? SoG3779 runG5143[G5720], thatG2443 ye may obtainG2638.[G5632] |
| [25]And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. |
[25]AndG1161 every manG3956 that striveth for the masteryG75[G5740] is temperateG1467[G5736] in all thingsG3956.[G3303] NowG3767 theyG1565 do it toG2443 obtainG2983[G5632] a corruptibleG5349 crownG4735; butG1161 weG2249 an incorruptibleG862. |
| [26]I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so I fight, not as one that beateth the air: |
[26]IG1473 thereforeG5106 soG3779 runG5143[G5719], notG3756 asG5613 uncertainlyG84; soG3779 fight IG4438[G5719], notG3756 asG5613 one that beatethG1194[G5723] the airG109: |
| [27]But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away. |
[27]ButG235 I keep underG5299[G5719] myG3450 bodyG4983, andG2532 bring it into subjectionG1396[G5719]: lest that by any meansG3381[G4458], when I have preachedG2784[G5660] to othersG243, I myselfG846 should beG1096[G5638] a castawayG96. |
