and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
