Ch. Paul’s Character

Boasting

I Cor IX. Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?

are not ye my work in the Lord?

I Cor IX. 12: ib. 15. 16. 19. 22. 12―If others be partakers of this 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.

15. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that

it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man

should make my glorying void.

16. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is

laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel!

19. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that

I might gain the more.

22. To the weak, became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things

to all men, that I might by all means save some.
