1 Cor 9:1-18

• Paul has met Jesus (v1)
• on the day he went to Damascus
• An apostle he is
• at least to the Corinthians (v2)
• the right to get support from their work
• examples
• soldiers gets paid
• works of vineyard eat the grapes
• shepherds drink the milk
• the Law
• Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain
• those work at the temple gets their food from the temple
• those serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar
• the Lord's command
• those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel
• Paul and others did not exercise their rights, so that
  
• the gospel of Christ not be hindered (v12)
  
• boast about it (v15)
• of which he'd rather died than have someone deprive him
• but not to boast when preaching the gospel
• because he was compelled to do it (woe to me if I don't preach the gospel)
  
• offer gospel preaching free of charge (v18)
• which is his reward
