1 Corinthians 9:4
_ _ Have we not power — Greek, “right,” or lawful power, equivalent to “liberty” claimed by the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 8:9). The “we” includes with himself his colleagues in the apostleship. The Greek interrogative expresses, “You surely won’t say (will you?) that we have not the power or right,” etc.
_ _ eat and drink — without laboring with our hands (1 Corinthians 9:11, 1 Corinthians 9:13, 1 Corinthians 9:14). Paul’s not exercising this right was made a plea by his opponents for insinuating that he was himself conscious he was no true apostle (2 Corinthians 12:13-16). |
1 Corinthians 9:4
Have we not power — I and my fellowlabourers. To eat and to drink — At the expense of those among whom we labour. |

(d) Upon the expense of the Church? |
