Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven't I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren't you my work in the Lord? |

What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn't eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn't drink from the flock's milk? |
| Je! Ninanena hayo kwa kibinadamu? Au torati nayo haisemi yayo hayo? 1 Wakorintho 9:8 |

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. |
