1 Corinthians 9:1-3, Mine Answer to Them that Do Examine Me
The Apostle Paul was criticized and questioned for living a sacrificial life. He did not marry although he has every right to do so. He wanted to wholeheartedly serve the Lord. And he also did not receive support from the Corinthian Church although he founded the church in Corinth and the Corinthian Christians were his “work in the Lord.”
