ABOUT HOLY THINGS

1 Corinthians 9:9-15

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?

  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. 

IF WE HAVE SOWN 

UNTO YOU

 SPIRITUAL THINGS,

 IT IS A GREAT THING

 IF WE SHALL REAP 

YOUR CARNAL THINGS?

 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.

 DO YE NOT KNOW 

THAT THEY 

WHICH MINISTER

ABOUT HOLY THINGS

 LIVE OF THE 

THINGS OF THE TEMPLE? 

AND 

THEY WHICH WAIT 

AT THE ALTER 

ARE PARTAKERS OF THE ALTER? 

EVEN SO 

HATH THE LORD ORDAINED

THAT THEY 

WHICH PREACH 

THE GOSPEL

 SHOULD LIVE OF THE GOSPEL.

 BUT I HAVE USED 

NONE OF THESE THINGS;

 NEITHER HAVE I WRITTEN 

THESE THINGS, 

THAT IT SHOULD BE SO

 DONE UNTO ME: 

FOR IT WERE BETTER

 FOR ME TO DIE, 

THAN THAT 

ANY MAN

SHOULD MAKE

MY GLORYING VOID. 

LOVE
