The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
the Corinthians
Chapter 9
Whoever goes to war at his own expense? Who
plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock
and does not drink of the milk of the flock?
(Deut. 20:6; John 21:15; 2 Cor. 10:4)
And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate
in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an
imperishable crown. (1 Tim. 2:5;
James 1:12)
