| 1st-Corinthians 9:6 | Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? | Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work? | Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work? | Or *I* alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work? |

| 1st-Corinthians 9:9 | 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, | For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders? | For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the corn."

| 1st-Corinthians 9:10 | 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] in hope of partaking. | Or has he us in mind?

| 1st-Corinthians 9:15 | 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] good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorifying void. | But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect. | But I have used none of these things, and I don't write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void. | But *I* have used none of these things.

| 1st-Corinthians 9:17 | 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. | But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it. | For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me. | For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:18 | 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. | What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news. | What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the gospel. | What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless [to others], so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in [announcing] the glad tidings. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:19 | For though I was free from all [men,] I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more. | For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation. | For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more. | For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most [possible]. |

| 1st-Corinthians 9:21 | 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. | To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law. | to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law. | to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain [those] without law. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:22 | 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. | To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation. | To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. | I became to the weak, [as] weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:23 | And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. | And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it. | Now I do this for the gospel's sake, that I may be a joint partaker of it. | And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:24 | Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. | Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward. | Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. | Know ye not that they who run in [the] race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain. |
| 1st-Corinthians 9:25 | And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. | And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown. | Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things.

| 1st-Corinthians 9:27 | 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. | But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval. | but I beat my body and bring it into submission, for fear that by any means, that after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. | But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest [after] having preached to others I should be myself rejected. |
