<p class="tab-1">In this chapter the apostle seems to answer some cavils against himself. I. He asserts his apostolical mission and authority, and gives in his success among them as a testimony to it, <a class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.1,1Cor.9.2" href="/passage/?search=1Cor.9.1,1Cor.9.2"><span class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.1">1 Cor. 9:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.2">2</span></a>. II. He claims a right to subsist by his ministry, and defends it by several arguments from natural reason and the Mosaical law, and asserts it also to be a constitution of Christ, <a class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.3-1Cor.9.14" href="/passage/?search=1Cor.9.3-1Cor.9.14">1 Cor. 9:3-14</a>. III. He shows that he had willingly waived this privilege and power for their benefit, <a class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.15-1Cor.9.18" href="/passage/?search=1Cor.9.15-1Cor.9.18">1 Cor. 9:15-18</a>. IV. He specifies several other things, in which he had denied himself for the sake of other men’s spiritual interest and salvation, <a class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.19-1Cor.9.23" href="/passage/?search=1Cor.9.19-1Cor.9.23">1 Cor. 9:19-23</a>. And, V. Concludes his argument by showing what animated him to this course, even the prospect of an incorruptible crown, <a class="bibleref" title="1Cor.9.24-1Cor.9.27" href="/passage/?search=1Cor.9.24-1Cor.9.27">1 Cor. 9:24-27</a>.</p>
