1 Corinthians 9:11

---

← 1 Corinthians 9:10	1 Corinthians 9:11 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 9:12 →
Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.	If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?	If others be partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
