If 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.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Corinthians. The analogies of the soldier, farmer, shepherd, and worker support the principle that those who serve have the right to receive material support. Paul connects this principle with apostolic ministry and the provisions of the law.

So andere dieser Macht an euch teilhaftig sind, warum nicht viel mehr wir? Aber wir haben solche Macht nicht gebraucht, sondern ertragen allerlei, daß wir nicht dem Evangelium Christi ein Hindernis machen.
Si otros tienen en vosotros esta potestad, ¿no más bien nosotros? Mas no hemos usado de esta potestad: antes lo sufrimos todo, por no poner ningún obstáculo al evangelio de Cristo.
Si otros participan de este derecho sobre ustedes, ¿no lo tenemos aún más nosotros? Pero no hemos usado este derecho, sino que lo soportamos todo para no poner ningún obstáculo al evangelio de Cristo.
Si d'autres jouissent de ce droit sur vous, n'est-ce pas plutôt à nous d'en jouir? Mais nous n'avons point usé de ce droit; au contraire, nous souffrons tout, afin de ne pas créer d'obstacle à l'Evangile de Christ.
Se gli altri hanno parte a questa podestà sopra voi, non l’avremmo noi molto più? ma noi non abbiamo usata questa podestà; anzi sofferiamo ogni cosa, per non dare alcuno sturbo all’evangelo di Cristo.
Se outros participam deste poder sobre vós, por que não, e mais justamente, nós? Mas nós não usamos deste direito; antes suportamos tudo, para não pormos impedimento algum ao evangelho de Cristo.
假如別人在你們身上享有這權利,何況我們呢? 然而,我們並沒有用過這權利,倒是凡事忍受,免得基督的福音受到阻礙。
