1 Corinthians 9:6

6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

Ver. 6. To forbear working ] At our trade? Yes, or else I should easily be of Melancthon’s mind, who when one had said of the ministry, that it was the art of arts, and the science of sciences; if he had added (said Melancthon) that it is the misery of miseries, he had hit the nail on the head. (Joh. Manl. loc. com. 471.)
