Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 9:13

_ _ minister about holy things — the Jewish priests and Levites. The Greek especially applies to the former, the priests offering sacrifices.

_ _ partakers with the altar — a part of the victims going to the service of the altar, and the rest being shared by the priests (Leviticus 7:6; Numbers 18:6, etc.; Deuteronomy 18:1, etc.).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 9:13

(9) Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live [of the (l) things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are (m) partakers with the altar?

(9) Last of all he brings forth the express law concerning the nourishing of the Levites, which privilege nonetheless he will not use.

(l) This is spoken by the figure of speech metonymy, for those things that are offered in the temple.

(m) Are partakers with the altar in dividing the sacrifice.
