1 Corinthians 9:1-22 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord?… I. ATTEMPTS ARE OFTEN MADE TO LIMIT THE FREE ACTION OF CHRISTIAN MINISTERS; as in apostolic times, so now. II. THESE ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE RESISTED with Christian dignity and in a Christian spirit — Paul's answer — he excludes all interference with — 1. His manner of life. 2. His personal and domestic associations. His mode of working. (J. Lyth, D. D.)
