Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 9:13
(τα ιερα ta hiera). [source]
Play on the same word ιερου hierou (sacred). See Numbers 18:8-20 for the details. This is a very pertinent illustration. They which wait upon the altar (οι τωι τυσιαστηριωι παρεδρευοντες hoi tōi thusiastēriōi paredreuontes). Old word παρεδρευω paredreuō to sit beside, from παρεδρος paṙ̇edros like Latin assidere, and so constant attendance. Only here in the N.T. Locative case τυσιαστηριωι thusiastēriōi late word found so far only in lxx, Philo, Josephus, N.T., and ecclesiastical writers. See Matthew 5:23. [source]

Lit, work or perform. Never in classical Greek of being engaged in sacred rites. [source]
Etymologically akin to πάρεδρος sittingbeside. See on 1 Corinthians 7:35. Only here in the New Testament. [source]
See on Acts 17:23. [source]

This late word οπσωνιον opsōnion (from οπσον opson cooked meat or relish with bread, and ωνεομαι ōneomai to buy) found in Menander, Polybius, and very common in papyri and inscriptions in the sense of rations or food, then for the soldiers‘ wages (often provisions) or the pay of any workman. So of the wages of sin (Romans 6:23). Paul uses λαβων οπσωνιον labōn opsōnion (receiving wages, the regular idiom) in 2 Corinthians 11:8. See Moulton and Milligan, Vocabulary; Deissmann, Bible Studies, pp. 148, 266; Light from the Ancient East, p. 168. To give proof of his right to receive pay for preaching Paul uses the illustrations of the soldier (1 Corinthians 9:7), the husbandman (1 Corinthians 9:7), the shepherd (1 Corinthians 9:7), the ox treading out the grain (1 Corinthians 9:8), the ploughman (1 Corinthians 9:10), the priests in the temple (1 Corinthians 9:13), proof enough in all conscience, and yet not enough for some churches who even today starve their pastors in the name of piety. Who planteth a vineyard? (τις πυτευει αμπελωνα tis phuteuei ampelōna̱). Αμπελων Ampelōn no earlier than Diodorus, but in lxx and in papyri. Place of vines (αμπελος ampelos), meaning of ending ων ̇ōn Who feedeth a flock? Cognate accusative, both old words. Paul likens the pastor to a soldier, vinedresser, shepherd. He contends with the world, he plants churches, he exercises a shepherd‘s care over them (Vincent). [source]
Present active indicative, progressive perfect reaching from a babe till now. Would that Christian parents took like pains today. The sacred writings (ιερα γραμματα hiera grammata). “Sacred writings” or “Holy Scriptures.” Here alone in N.T., though in Josephus (Proem to Ant. 3; Apion 1, etc.) and in Philo. The adjective ιερος hieros occurs in 1 Corinthians 9:13 of the temple worship, and γραμμα gramma in contrast to πνευμα pneuma in 2 Corinthians 3:6.; Romans 2:29 and in John 5:47 of Moses‘ writings, in Acts 28:21 of an epistle, in Galatians 6:11 of letters (characters). In Ephesus there were Επεσια γραμματα Ephesia grammata that were βεβηλα bebēla (Acts 19:19), not ιερα hiera To make thee wise First aorist active infinitive of σοπιζω sophizō old verb (from σοπος sophos), in N.T. only here, and 2 Peter 1:16. Which is in (της εν tēs en). Common idiom with the article, “the in.” The use of the Scriptures was not magic, but of value when used “through faith that is in Christ Jesus.” [source]
