1 Corinthians Chapter 9 - | Early Church Bible

1: Am I not [G3756] a sent one (apostle) '? Am I not [G3756] free [G1658]? not [G3780] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) Anointed '[G5547] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] of us [G1473] Have I seen [G3708]? not [G3756] the [G3588] my work [G2041][G1473] Are you [G1473] in [G1722] Boss '[G2962]?
2: If [G1487] to others I am not [G3756] a sent one (apostle) ', but indeed [G1065] to you [G1473] I am ; for the [G3588] [G1063] seal [G4973] of the [G3588] my [G1699] commission you are [G1473] in [G1722] Boss '[G2962].
3: the [G3588] My [G1699] defense to the [G3588] [ones] questioning me [G1473] is this [G3778].
4: Do we not [G3378] have [G2192] authority [G1849] to eat [G2068] and [G2532] to drink [G4095]?
5: Do we not [G3378] have [G2192] authority [G1849] a sister a wife [G1135] to lead about [G4013], as [G5613] also [G2532] the [G3588] rest [G3062] of sent ones (apostles) ', and [G2532] the [G3588] brothers of the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] Cephas?
6: Or [G2228] only [G3441] I [G1473] and [G2532] Barnabas have not [G3756][G2192] authority [G1849] the [G3588] to not [G3361] work [G2038]?
7: Who [G5100] soldiers [G4754] by his own [G2398] rations [G3800] at any time [G4218]? Who [G5100] plants [G5452] a vineyard , and [G2532] from [G1537] the [G3588] fruit [G2590] of it [G1473] does not [G3756] eat [G2068]? or [G2228] who [G5100] tends [G4165] a flock [G4167], and [G2532] from [G1537] the [G3588] milk [G1051] of the [G3588] flock [G4167] does not [G3756] eat [G2068]?
8: Is it [G3361] according to [G2596] a man these [things] [G3778] I speak [G2980], or [G2228] does not [G3780] also [G2532] the [G3588] law [G3551] say these [things] [G3778][G3004]?
9: For in [G1722][G1063] the [G3588] law of Moses [G3551] it has been written [G1125], You will not [G3756] muzzle [G5392] an ox [G1016] threshing . Is not [G3361] the [G3588] ox [G1016] a care [G3199] the [G3588] to God '[G2316]?
10: Or [G2228] because of [G1223] us [G1473] assuredly [G3843] it says [G3004]? because of [G1223] us [G1473] For [G1063] it was written [G1125] that [G3754], in [G1909] hope [G1680] ought [G3784] the [G3588] [one] plowing to plow , and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] threshing of the [thing] [G3588] of his hope [G1680][G1473] [is] to partake [G3348] in [G1909] hope [G1680].
11: If [G1487] we [G1473] to you [G1473] the [G3588] [things] of wind/spirit/breathing '[G4152] sowed [G4687], [is it] a great [thing] [G3173] if [G1487] we [G1473] your [G1473] the [G3588] [things] of flesh '[G4559] harvest [G2325]?
12: If [G1487] others of the [G3588] authority [G1849] [over] you [G1473] partake [G3348], [should] not [G3756] we more [G3123][G1473]? But we did not [G3756] use [G5530] the [G3588] this authority [G1849][G3778]; but all [things] [G3956] we hold off [G4722], that [G2443] not [G3361] any hindrance [G1464][G5100] we should give [G1325] to the [G3588] good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098] of the [G3588] [one] Anointed '[G5547].
13: Do you not [G3756] know [G1492] that [G3754] the [G3588] [ones] the [G3588] consecrated [things] [G2413] working [G2038] at [G1537] the [G3588] temple [G2413] will eat [G2068]? [and] the [G3588] [ones] the [G3588] altar [G2379] taking care of [G4332] the [G3588] altar [G2379] receive a portion of [G4829]?
14: So [G3779] also [G2532] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] set in order [G1299] for the [G3588] [ones] the [G3588] a good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098] announcing [G2605], from [the announcing [G1537] of the [G3588] a good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098] to live [G2198].
15: But I [G1473][G1161] none [G3762] used [G5530] of these [things] [G3778]. I did not [G3756] write [G1125] But [G1161] these [things] [G3778], that [G2443] thus [G3779] it should happen [G1096] with [G1722] me [G1473]. For [it is] good [G2570][G1063] for me [G1473] rather [G3123] to die than [G2228] the [G3588] my boasting [G2745][G1473] that [G2443] anyone [G5100] should nullify [G2758].
16: For if [G1437][G1063] I good-word-convey '[G2097], there not [G3756] is a boasting to me [G1473][G2745]; for a necessity [G1063] is pressed upon me [G1473][G1945]; woe [G3759] but [G1161] to me [G1473] it is if [G1437] I should not [G3361] good-word-convey '[G2097].
17: For if [G1487][G1063] I willingly [G1635] do this [G3778][G4238], a wage [G3408] I have [G2192]; but if [G1487][G1161] unwillingly , a management [G3622] I am trusted '[G4100] [with].
18: What [G5100] then [G3767] to me [G1473] is the [G3588] wage [G3408]? That [G2443] good-word-conveying (evangelizing) '[G2097] free I should establish [G5087] the [G3588] good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098] of the [G3588] [one] Anointed '[G5547], for [G1519] the [G3588] not [G3361] abusing [G2710] the [G3588] my authority [G1849][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098].
19: free [G1658] For [G1063] being from [G1537] all [G3956], to all [G3956] myself [G1683] I enslaved [G1402], that [G2443] the [G3588] many more [G4183] I should gain [G2770].
20: And [G2532] I became [G1096] to the [G3588] Jews as [G5613] a Jew, that [G2443] I should gain Jews [G2770]; to the [G3588] [ones] under [G5259] law [G3551], as [G5613] under [G5259] law [G3551], that [G2443] the [G3588] [ones] under [G5259] law [G3551] I should gain [G2770];
21: to the [G3588] lawless ones , as [G5613] a lawless one , (not [G3361] being lawless to God '[G2316], but lawful [G1772] to Anointed "'[G5547]), that [G2443] I should gain [G2770] lawless ones .
22: I became [G1096] to the [G3588] weak as [G5613] weak , that [G2443] the [G3588] weak I should gain [G2770]. To all these the [G3588][G3956] I have become [G1096] all [things] the [G3588][G3956], that [G2443] assuredly [G3843] some [G5100] I should deliver [G4982].
23: But this [G3778][G1161] I do [G4160] on account of [G1223] the [G3588] good-word-conveyed (good message) '[G2098], that [G2443] a fellow-partaker with [G4791] him [G1473] I should become [G1096].
24: Do you not [G3756] know [G1492] that [G3754] the [G3588] [ones] in [G1722] stadium [G4712] running [G5143], all [G3956] indeed [G3303] run [G5143], but one [G1520][G1161] receives [G2983] the [G3588] victory prize [G1017]? Thus [G3779] you run [G5143] that [G2443] you should overtake [G2638]!
25: But every [one [G3956][G1161] the [G3588] struggling , in all [things] [G3956] controls himself [G1467]; that [G1565] indeed [G3303] then [G3767] that [G2443] a corruptible [G5349] crown [G4735] they should receive [G2983]; but we [G1473][G1161] an incorruptible [crown .
26: I [G1473] therefore [G5106] so [G3779] run [G5143], as [G5613] not [G3756] uncertainly ; so [G3779] I box [G4438], as [G5613] not [G3756] the air flaying [G1194].
27: But I bruise [G5299] my [G1473] the [G3588] body [G4983], and [G2532] bring it into slavery [G1396], lest [G3381] to others having proclaimed [G2784], myself [G1473] debased I should be [G1096].
