46:009:012 If others be 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.
46:009:013 Do ye 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?
46:009:014 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they
which preach the
gospel
should live of the gospel.
46:009:015 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
better
for me to die, than that any man should make my
glorying
void.
46:009:016 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!
46:009:017 For if I do this thing willingly, I have
a reward: but if
against
my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed
unto
me.
46:009:018 What is my reward then? Verily that,
when I preach the gospel,
I
may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that
I abuse
not
my power in the gospel.
46:009:019 For though I be free from all men, yet
have I made myself
servant
unto all, that I might gain the more.
46:009:020 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;
46:009:021 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.
46:009:022 To the weak became I as weak, that I might
gain the weak: I am
made
all things to all men, that I might by all means save
some.
46:009:023 And this I do for the gospel’s sake,
that I might be partaker
thereof
with you.
46:009:024 Know ye not that they which run in a race
run all, but one
receiveth
the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
46:009:025 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.
46:009:026 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly;
so fight I, not as one
that
beateth the air:
46:009:027 But I keep under my body, and bring it
into subjection: lest
that
by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself
should
be a castaway.
46:010:001 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye
should be ignorant,
how
that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed
through
the sea;
