1 Corinthians9:4
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? .
Could I not eat and drink of such things offered to Idols as well as you? Have not I as great a knowledge, and as much liberty? Yet you see I forbear. But the generality of Interpreters rather incline to interpret it by what followeth: Then, though it be here shortly expressed, and more fully opened afterward, yet the sense is: Have not I power to ask a maintenance of you, by which I should be inabled to eat and drink.
