1 Corinthians 9:12
_ _ others — whether true apostles (1 Corinthians 9:5) or false ones (2 Corinthians 11:20).
_ _ we rather — considering our greater labors for you (2 Corinthians 11:23).
_ _ suffer all things — without complaining of it. We desire to conceal (literally, “hold as a water-tight vessel”) any distress we suffer from straitened circumstances. The same Greek is in 1 Corinthians 13:7.
_ _ lest we ... hinder ... gospel — not to cause a hindrance to its progress by giving a handle for the imputation of self-seeking, if we received support from our flock. The less of incumbrance and expense caused to the Church, and the more of work done, the better for the cause of the Gospel (2 Timothy 2:4). |
1 Corinthians 9:12
If others — Whether true or false apostles. Partake of this power — Have a right to be maintained. Do not we rather — On account of our having laboured so much more? Lest we should give any hinderance to the gospel — By giving an occasion of cavil or reproach. |
1 Corinthians 9:12
(8) If others be partakers of [this] (k) 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.
(8) Another argument of great force: others are nourished among you, therefore it was lawful for me, indeed rather for me than any other. And yet I refused it, and had rather still suffer any inconvenience, than the Gospel of Christ should be hindered.
(k) The word signifies right and interest, by which he shows us that the ministers of the word must by right and duty be supported by the Church. |

1 Thessalonians 2:6-9 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. ...

2 Thessalonians 3:8-9 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: ... Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

- but:
1 Corinthians 4:11-12 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; ... And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
