F I R S T C O R I N T H I A N S. CHAP. IX. In this chapter the apostle seems to answer some cavils against himself. I. He asserts his apostolical mission and authority, and gives in his success among them as a testimony to it, 1 Corinthians 9:1 ; 1 Corinthians 9:2 . II. He claims a right to subsist by his ministry, and defends it by several arguments from natural reason and the Mosaical law, and asserts it also to be a constitution of Christ, 1 Corinthians 9:3-14 . III. He shows that he had willingly waived this privilege and power for their benefit, 1 Corinthians 9:15-18 . IV. He specifies several other things, in which he had denied himself for the sake of other men's spiritual interest and salvation, 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 . And, V. Concludes his argument by showing what animated him to this course, even the prospect of an incorruptible crown, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-2" class="com-number"
