Say I these things as a man? or says not the law the same also?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 9:8 Go To 1 Corinthians 9
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For since he had hitherto alleged nothing out of the Scriptures, but put forward the common custom; think not, says he, that I am confident in these alone, nor that I go to the opinions of men for the ground of these enactments. For I can show that these things are also well-pleasing to God, and I read an ancient law enjoining them. Wherefore also he carries on his discourse in the form of a question, which is apt to be done in things fully acknowledged; thus saying, Say I these things after the manner of men? i.e. do I strengthen myself only by human examples? or says not the law also the same?
