I Corinthians 9:1-14
\nThe Rights and Sacrifices of the Apostle Paul in His Service \u2013 Part 1<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 05\/10\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 9:1-14.<\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[King James Version]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Why did Paul write these words to the Church in Corinth in Chapter 9?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What are sowing spiritual things?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What are reaping carnal things?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What is “this power” in verse 12?<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What does it mean to “live of the Gospel”?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Do you care about and support the physical needs of those who teach the Word of God to you?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The tithe of 1\/10 in the Old Testament was to support the families of the priests and maintain the Temple of the Lord. How should modern believers give to support the ministries of the Church?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
