1 Coríntios 9

¹ Not am I a freeman? not am I an apostle? Not Jesus Anointed the Lord of us have seen? not the work of me you are in Lord?

² If to others not I am an apostle, at all events to you I am; the for seal of the my apostleship you are in Lord.

³ The my defence to those me condemning, this is.

⁴ Not not have we a right to eat and to drink?

⁵ Not not have we a right a sister a wife to lead about, as also the others apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

⁶ Or only I and Barnabas not have we a right of the not to work?

⁷ Who serves in war with his own wages any time? who plants a vineyard, and from of the fruit of it not eats? or who tends a flock, and from of the milk of the flock not eats?

⁸ Not according to man these things I speak? or not and the law these things says?

⁹ In for the Moses law it has been written: Not thou shalt muzzle an ox threshing. Not for the oxen cares the God?

¹⁰ or on account of us altogether he says? On account of us for it was written, because in hope it is right he plowing to plow; and he threshing, in hope of that to partake.

¹¹ If we to you the spiritual things sowed, a great thing, if we of you the fleshly things shall reap?

¹² If others of the of you right partake, not rather we? But not we did use the right this; but all things we endure, so that not hindrance any we may give to the glad tidings of the Anointed.

¹³ Not know you, that those the holy things performing, from of the temple eat? those to the altar attending, with the altar are partakers?

¹⁴ Thus also the Lord has appointed for those the glad tidings proclaiming, from of the glad tidings to live.

¹⁵ I but not have used not one of these things. Not I did write and these things, that thus it may be done to me; well for to me rather to die, than the boasting of me that any one should make void.

¹⁶ If for I may announce glad tidings, not it is to me a cause of boasting; necessity for to me lies on; woe for to me is if not I should preach glad tidings.

¹⁷ If for willing this I do, a reward I have; if but unwilling, a stewardship I have been entrusted with.

¹⁸ What then to me is the reward? So that announcing glad tidings without expense I will place the glad tidings of the Anointed, in order that not to fully use the authority of me in the glad tidings.

¹⁹ Free for being from all, to all myself I was enslaved, that the more I might gain;

²⁰ and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, (not being myself under law,) that those under law I might gain;

²¹ to those without law as without law, (not being without law to God, but within law to Anointed,) that I might gain lawless ones;

²² I became to the weak as weak, that the weak ones I might gain; to them all I have become the all things, that by all means some I may save.

²³ This but I do on account of the glad tidings, that a co–partner of it I may become.

²⁴ Not know you, that those in a race–course running, all indeed run, one but receives the prize? Thus run you, that you may obtain.

²⁵ Every one but the contending, all things possesses self–control; they indeed therefore, that a perishable wreath they may receive; we but, an imperishable.

²⁶ I therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; thus I box, as not air beating;

²⁷ but I browbeat of me the body and lead it captive, lest possibly to others having proclaimed, myself without proof should become.
