Not am I free? Not am I an apostle? Not Jesus the Lord of us have I seen? Not the work of me, you are, in [the] Lord.

If to others not I am an apostle, yet at least to you I am; the for seal of my the apostleship, you are in [the] Lord.

No not have we [the] right to eat and to drink?

No not have we authority a sister, a wife, to take about, as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or only I and Barnabas, not have we authority not to work?

who serves as a soldier at [his] own expense at any time? Who plants a vineyard, and the fruit of it not does eat? Or who shepherds a flock, and from the milk of the flock not does drink?

Not according to man, these things do I speak? Or also the law these things not says?

In for the of Moses law, it has been written: Not you will muzzle an ox treading out grain.” Not for the oxen is there care with God?

Or because of us entirely is He speaking? For sake of us for it was written, because ought in hope the [one] plowing to plow, and the [one] threshing, in hope [that he] is to partake.

If we among you spiritual things sowed, [is it] a great thing if we, from you material things will reap?

If others of the over you authority partake, [should] not more we? But not we did use right this. Instead, all things we bear, so that not any hindrance we may place to the gospel of Christ.

Not know you that those in the sacred [things] working, the things of the temple eat; those at the altar attending, at the altar partake?

So also, the Lord has prescribed to those the gospel proclaiming from the gospel to live.

I however not have used none of these. Neither have I written now, these things that thus it may be with me; [it were] good for me rather to die, than the boasting of me, no one will make void.

If for I shall preach the gospel, nothing there is to me boasting; necessity for me is laid upon. Woe however to me be, if not I shall preach the gospel.

If for willingly this I do, a reward I have; if however unwillingly, a stewardship I have been entrusted with.

What then of me is the reward? That in preaching the gospel free of charge, I may offer the gospel, so as not to use up the right of me in the gospel.

Free for being from all, to all myself I became servant, so that the more I may gain.

And I became to the Jews, like a Jew, so that Jews I may win. To those under [the] Law, as under [the] law not being myself under [the] law so that those under [the] law I may win.

To those outside [the] Law, like outside [the] Law — not being outside [the] law of God, but under [the] law of Christ — so that I may win those outside [the] Law.

I became to the weak, weak, that the weak I may win. These things to all I have become all, so that by all means, some I may save.

All [things] now I do on account of the gospel, that a fellow partaker with it I may become.

Not know you that those in a race course running, all indeed run; one however receives the prize? Thus do run, that you may obtain [it].

Everyone now who is striving, in all things controls himself; they indeed then, that a perishable crown they may receive, we however an imperishable.
