George Leo Haydock, on 1Cor 9:11
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
1Cor 9:11 · Douay-Rheims
“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?”
On this verse:
“Is it a great matter? The apostle is here speaking of what he had given to the Corinthians, and what he had received from them; and this he does under the comparison of the sower and the reaper. Can any of you think it hard that we receive some part of your temporal goods, when we have bestowed upon you spiritual: nevertheless, we have not used this power, but we bear all things, &c. (ver. 12.) (Estius)”
