  3. 1 Corinthians 9:7–27Rank 3 from verse 9
    Open

    7Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

    8Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

    9For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

    10Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

    11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

    12If 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.

    13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

    14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

    15But 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.

    16For 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!

    17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

    18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

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

    20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

    21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

    22To 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.

    23And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

    24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

    25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

    26I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

    27But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

  4. Luke 10:4–12Rank 4 from verse 9
    Open

    4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

    5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

    6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

    7And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

    8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

    9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

    10But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

    11Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

    12But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

  5. Mark 6:8–11Rank 5 from verse 9
    Open

    8And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

    9But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

    10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

    11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
