9:1 | Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? |
9:2 | If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. |
9:3 | Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, |
9:4 | Have we not power to eat and to drink? |
9:5 | Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? |
9:5 | 難道我們沒有權柄娶信主的姊妹為妻、帶著一同往來、彷彿其餘的使徒、和主的弟兄、並磯法一樣麼。 |
9:5 | 难道我们没有权柄娶信主的姊妹为妻,带着一同往来,彷佛其馀的使徒,和主的弟兄,并矶法一样麽。 |
mat:8:14 | And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. |
mak:1:30 | But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. |
mat:12:46 | While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. |
act:1:14 | These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. |
jhn:1:42 | And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. |
gal:1:18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. |
gal:2:9 | And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. |
1co:7:7 | For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. |

9:6 | Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? |
9:7 | 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? |
9:8 | Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? |
9:9 | For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? |
9:10 | Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our 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 his hope. |
9:11 | If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? |
9:12 | 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. |
9:13 | 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? |
9:14 | Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. |
9:15 | 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. |
9:16 | 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! |
9:17 | 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. |
9:18 | 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. |
9:19 | For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. |
9:20 | 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; |
9:21 | 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. |
9:22 | 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. |
9:23 | And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. |
9:24 | Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. |
9:25 | 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. |
9:26 | I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: |
9:27 | 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. |
