[4] Have we power to eat and to drink? [5] Have we power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? [6] Or I only and Barnabas, not we power to forbear working? [7] 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] Say I as a man? or saith the law also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether 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 hope. [11] If have sown spiritual things, is it a great thing if shall reap carnal things? [12] If others be partakers of this power are not rather? Nevertheless not used power; but suffer all things, we should hinder the gospel of Christ. [13] 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? [14] Even so the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. [15] But I have used none neither have I written that so done unto for it were better to die, than that glorying void. [16] For though I preach the gospel, nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon woe the gospel! [17] For if I do willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. [18] What reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, that I abuse not power in the gospel. [19] For free from all myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
