Verse 1
1 Corinthians 9:1
1 Corinthians 9:1
1 Corinthians 9:1
Verse 2
1 Corinthians 9:2
Seal -- A seal was to authenticate a matter. 2 Corinthians 12:12.
Verse 4
Verse 5
a wife -- If Paul was marriage he didn’t take his wife traveling with him. See ch. 7 that he didn’t have a wife. Paul apparently either never married, or was a widower. The clue that he was a widower would involve the idea that he was a member of the Sanhedrin when he gave his "vote" or "voice" against the Christian. (Acts 26:10) (and this involved the necessity of being married.) He appears to have received the training of a Rabbi, Acts 22:3.
Verse 9
1 Corinthians 9:9
It is written -- Deuteronomy 25:4
Verse 11
1 Corinthians 9:11
Carnal -- Material
Verse 13
1 Corinthians 9:13
Temple -- The Jerusalem temple was still standing when this letter was written.
Verse 18
1 Corinthians 9:18
my reward -- Literally, wages. Not money, but the privilege of preaching the gospel without support, was Paul’s reward.
free of charge -- Paul didn’t preach for money, note his comment to the elders of Ephesus in Acts 20:33-34.
Paul preached the gospel without demanding or expecting payment from the people whom he sought to reach with the gospel.
Verse 24
1 Corinthians 9:24
1) v. 24 Energetic attempts
2) v. 25 Eternal reward
3) v. 26 Empty actions
4) v. 27 Exercise restraint
Verse 27
1 Corinthians 9:27
Castaway -- Disqualified for the price. (the Greek word)
See James 5:19 note on APOSTASY
