22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law f (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), g so as to win those not having the law. d To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), e so as to win those under the law. c 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. x 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, y and so not make full use of my rights z as a preacher of the gospel.ġ9 Though I am free a and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, b to win as many as possible. v Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward w if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. u 16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.

t And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.

sġ5 But I have not used any of these rights. p On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder q the gospel of Christ.ġ3 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? r 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. n 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? o 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?īut we did not use this right. 4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink? d 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife e along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers f and Cephas a ? g 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas h who lack the right to not work for a living?ħ Who serves as a soldier i at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard j and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” b k Is it about oxen that God is concerned? l 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, m because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 9 Am I not free? y Am I not an apostle? z Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? a Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? b 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal c of my apostleship in the Lord.ģ This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.
