KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If other people have the right to expect support from you, don't we have even more of that right? But we chose not to use it. We put up with everything instead because we didn't want anything to get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes the best way to serve is to give up what you deserve.
