I Corinthians 9:4

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2
Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4
Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6
Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
9
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?
10
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14
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.
17
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
19
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
21
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
23
And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
25
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
