Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock? Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things? For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen, read more.
or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share. If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things? If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ. Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar? And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good-news to live from the good-news. But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty. For if I preach the good-news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good-news. For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good-news, I may make the good-news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good-news. For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more. And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law, to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law. To the weak I became as weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all means I might save some. And I do this for sake of the good-news, so that I might become a fellow participant of it.


For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.



For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.



If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good-news, I may make the good-news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good-news.



according to the good-news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.

but in his own times he made known his word by preaching, which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.

Of which I became a helper according to the administration of God, which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God,

but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good-news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision
