9:10. Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are
written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and
he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
9:11. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if
we reap your carnal things?
9:12. If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather?
Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest
we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
9:13. Know you not that they who work in the holy place eat the things
that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar partake with
the altar?
9:14. So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should
live by the gospel.
9:15. But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these
things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to
die rather than that any man should make my glory void.
9:16. For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity
lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.
It is no glory... That is, I have nothing to glory of.
9:17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against
my will, a dispensation is committed to me.
9:18. What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver
the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
9:19. For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of
all, that I might gain the more.
9:20. And I became to the Jews a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
9:22. To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became
all things to all men, that I might save all.
9:23. And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be made
partaker thereof.
9:24. Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but
one receiveth the prize. So run that you may obtain.
9:25. And every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself
from all things. And they indeed that they may receive a corruptible
crown: but we an incorruptible one.
9:26. I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as
one beating the air.
9:27. But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps,
when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
I chastise, etc... Here St. Paul shews the necessity of self-denial and
mortification, to subdue the flesh, and its inordinate desires.
1 Corinthians Chapter 10
By the example of the Israelites, he shews that we are not to build too
much upon favours received but to avoid their sins and fly from the
service of idols and from things offered to idols.
10:1. For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were
all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea.
10:2. And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea:
In Moses... Under the conduct of Moses, they received baptism in figure,
by passing under the cloud, and through the sea; and they partook of the
body and blood of Christ in figure, by eating of the manna, (called here
a spiritual food because it was a figure of the true bread which comes
down from heaven,) and drinking the water, miraculously brought out of
the rock, called here a spiritual rock, because it was also a figure of
Christ.
10:3. And did all eat the same spiritual food:
