1 Corinthians 9

NET

10 Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.


Darby

10 or does he say [it] altogether for our sakes? ForD8279 for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough inD8280 hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partakingD8281 of [it].


Darby Bible Notes

For - These two 'fors' are an example of the rapidity of the apostle's style. To make the sense hang together, we should have to add, in the first case, 'not as a man merely,' or, 'surely it does.' 'For in the law of Moses,' &c.; and, in the second, 'not about the oxen, for for our sakes,' &c. in - Or 'with.' see Rom. 4.18. partaking - Metecho, see Note, Heb. 2.14.


KJV

10 Or 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.
