1 Corinthians 9
9:1

Am1510 I not3756 an apostle652? am1510 I not3756 free1658? have I not3780 seen3708 Yahshua2424 Messiah5547 our2257 Master2962? are2075 not3756 ye5210 my3450 work2041 in1722 Yahweh2962?

9:2

If1487 I be1510 not3756 an apostle652 unto others243, yet235 doubtless1065 I am1510 to you5213: for1063 the seal4973 of mine1699 apostleship651 are2075 ye5210 in1722 the Master2962.

9:3

Mine1699 answer627 to them that do examine350 me1691 is2076 this3778,

9:4

Have we2192 not3378 power1849 to eat5315 and2532 to drink4095?

9:5

Have we2192 not3378 power1849 to lead about4013 a sister79, a wife1135, as well as5613 other3062 apostles652, and2532 as the brethren80 of the Master2962, and2532 Cephas2786?

9:6

Or2228 I1473 only3441 and2532 Barnabas921, have2192 not3756 we2192 power1849 to forbear3361 working2038?

9:7

Who5101 goeth a warfare4754 any time at4218 his own2398 charges3800? who5101 planteth5452 a vineyard290, and2532 eateth2068 not3756 of1537 the fruit2590 thereof846? or2228 who5101 feedeth4165 a flock4167, and2532 eateth2068 not3756 of1537 the milk1051 of the flock4167?

9:8

Say I2980 these things5023 as3361 a man444? or2228 saith3004 not3780 the law3551 the same5023 also2532?

9:9

For1063 it is written1125 in1722 the law3551 of Moses3475, Thou shalt5392 not3756 muzzle5392 the mouth of the ox1016 that treadeth out the corn248. Doth3199 Elohim2316 take care3199 for oxen1016?

9:10

Or2228 saith he3004 it altogether3843 for1223 our2248 sakes1223? For1223 our2248 sakes1223, no doubt1063, this is written1125: that3754 he that ploweth722 should3784 plow722 in1909 hope1680; and2532 that he that thresheth248 in hope1680 should be partaker3348 of1909 his846 hope1680.

9:11

If1487 we2249 have sown4687 unto you5213 spiritual things4152, is it a great thing3173 if1487 we2249 shall reap2325 your5216 carnal things4559?

9:12

If1487 others243 be partakers3348 of this power1849 over you5216, are not3756 we2249 rather3123? Nevertheless235 we have5530 not3756 used5530 this5026 power1849; but235 suffer4722 all things3956, lest3363 we should1325 hinder1464 the good news2098 of Messiah5547.

9:13

Do ye1492 not3756 know1492 that3754 they which minister2038 about holy things2413 live2068 of the things of1537 the temple2411? and they which wait4332 at the altar2379 are partakers4829 with the altar2379?

9:14

Even2532 so3779 hath1299 the Master2962 ordained1299 that they which preach2605 the good news2098 should live2198 of1537 the good news2098.

9:15

But1161 I1473 have used5530 none3762 of these things5130 :1161 neither3756 have I written1125 these things5023, that2443 it should be1096 so3779 done1096 unto1722 me1698: for1063 it were better3123 for me3427 to die599, than2228 that2443 any man5100 should make2758 my3450 glorying2745 void2758.

9:16

For1063 though1437 I preach the good news2097 I3427 have2076 nothing3756 to glory of2745: for1063 necessity318 is laid upon1945 me3427; yea1161, woe3759 is2076 unto me3427, if3362 I preach2097 not3362 the good news2097!

9:17

For1063 if1487 I do4238 this thing5124 willingly1635, I have2192 a reward3408: but1161 if1487 against my will210, a dispensation3622 of the good news is committed unto me4100.

9:18

What5101 is2076 my3427 reward3408 then3767? Verily that2443, when I preach the good news2097, I may make5087 the good news2098 of Messiah5547 without charge77, that1519 I abuse2710 not3361 my3450 power1849 in1722 the good news2098.

9:19

For1063 though I be5607 free1658 from1537 all3956 men, yet have I made1402 myself1683 servant1402 unto all3956, that2443 I might gain2770 the more4119.

9:20

And2532 unto the Jews2453 I became1096 as5613 a Jew2453, that2443 I might gain2770 the Jews2453; to them that are under5259 the law3551, as5613 under5259 the law3551, that2443 I might gain2770 them that are under5259 the law3551;

9:21

To them that are without law459, as5613 without law459, (being5607 not3361 without law459 to Elohim2316, but235 under the law1772 to Messiah5547,) that2443 I might gain2770 them that are without law459.

9:22

To the weak772 became I1096 as5613 weak772, that2443 I might gain2770 the weak772: I am made1096 all things3956 to all3956 men, that2443 I might4982 by all means3843 save4982 some5100.

9:23

And1161 this5124 I do4160 for1223 the good news'2098 sake1223, that2443 I might be1096 partaker4791 thereof846 with4791 you.

9:24

Know ye1492 not3756 that3754 they which run5143 in1722 a race4712 run5143 all3956, but1161 one1520 receiveth2983 the prize1017? So3779 run5143, that2443 ye may obtain2638.

9:25

And1161 every man3956 that striveth for the mastery75 is temperate1467 in all things3956.3303 Now3767 they1565 do it to2443 obtain2983 a corruptible5349 crown4735; but1161 we2249 an incorruptible862.

9:26

I1473 therefore5106 so3779 run5143, not3756 as5613 uncertainly84; so3779 fight I4438, not3756 as5613 one that beateth1194 the air109:

9:27

But235 I keep under5299 my3450 body4983, and2532 bring it into subjection1396: lest that by any means3381, when I have preached2784 to others243, I myself846 should be1096 a castaway96.
