Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord? <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> My defence to them that examine me is this. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> Have we no right to eat and to drink? <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? Or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same? <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth, <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> or saith he it assuredly for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, `to thresh&#8217; in hope of partaking. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things? <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> If others partake of `this&#8217; right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Know ye not that they that minister about sacred things eat `of&#8217; the things of the temple, `and&#8217; they that wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar? <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Even so did the Lord ordain that they that proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for `it were&#8217; good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorifying void. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> For though I was free from all `men,&#8217; I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And I do all things for the gospel&#8217;s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they `do it&#8217; to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Am I not free?
