1 Corintios 9:1-23 NVI

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 9:16-18

His boasting is not of his preaching: v. 16. For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel! v. 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. v. 18. What is my reward, then? Verily that, when I preach the Gospel, I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the Gospel. Paul here again... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

Devoted work for the sake of the Gospel: v. 19. For though. I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all that I might gain the more. v. 20. And unto the Jews I became a Jew that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain them that are under the Law; v. 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. v. 22. To the... read more

B. An Illustration of Self-denial drawn from the Apostle’s Life, in the Renunciation of his own Rights and Liberties for the Good of others1 Corinthians 9:1-231. Statement of his own rights as an Apostle1 Corinthians 9:1-141Am I not an apostle? am I not free? [Am I not free?1 am I not an apostle?] have I not seen Jesus Christ [om.Christ2 ] our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 2If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine3 apostleship are ye in the... read more

1 Corinthians THE SIN OF SILENCE 1Co_9:16 - 1Co_9:17 . The original reference of these words is to the Apostle’s principle and practice of not receiving for his support money from the churches. Gifts he did accept; pay he did not. The exposition of his reason is interesting, ingenuous, and chivalrous. He strongly asserts his right, even while he as strongly declares that he will waive it. The reason for his waiving it is that he desires to have somewhat in his service beyond the strict line... read more

1 Corinthians A SERVANT OF MEN 1Co_9:19 - 1Co_9:23 . Paul speaks much of himself, but he is not an egotist. When he says, ‘I do so and so,’ it is a gracious way of enjoining the same conduct on his readers. He will lay no burden on them which he does not himself carry. The leader who can say ‘Come’ is not likely to want followers. So, in this section, the Apostle is really enjoining on the Corinthians the conduct which he declares is his own. The great principle incumbent on all Christians,... read more

Rights and Their Surrender 1 Corinthians 9:1-15 Paul’s claim to an equality with Peter and the other Apostles was violently disputed by his enemies at Corinth, because in several matters he differed from them. Unlike Peter, he had no wife to support, and he worked for his livelihood, instead of being supported by the churches. In this chapter he strongly asserts his rights in this particular; but he is equally strong in saying that he had refused to avail himself of his right, that he might... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 9:16-27

“Under Bondage to All” 1 Corinthians 9:16-27 Paul’s one aim was to gain men. He uses the words repeatedly. To gain one more for his Lord, he would forego comfort, emolument, and well-earned repose. He would allow no competitor for an earthly prize to supersede himself in his sacrifices for this crown of rejoicing. He points to the denials, the hard training, and the severe discipline to which men who took part in the games subjected themselves. No one thought it strange that they should... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:1-27

The words, "my defence to them that examine me is this," reveal the opposition to him in Corinth. The two words, "defence" and "examine," are purely legal, and are in the language of the courts of justice. The apostle is speaking of himself as on his defense and under examination. The apostle declares that his right in the case of the Corinthians at least is based on his work. Whatever relation he may bear to others, he is an apostle to them at least, for they are the very seal of his... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 9:14

THE SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY‘Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.’ 1 Corinthians 9:14 St. Paul’s apostleship had here been called in question, and it was objected that he had never seen and known the Lord, and another objection was that he was a common workman. St. Paul has been answering the objections raised by these Corinthians. To the first objection, that he had not been elected by an Apostle to be an Apostle, he says that he had a... read more
