|-
| Paul only talks about physical things to impart a message about "spiritual things" as he will eventually talk about "spiritual meat".
|-
| [[Jesus]] was a king and as the [[Christ]] He [[appoint]]ed the kingdom to His [[little flock]].
|-
| The [[ekklesia]] or Church were another form of government.
|-
| '''Questions'''
|-
| [[Jesus]] took the [[Kingdom of God|government of God]] from the [[Pharisees]] and [[appoint]]ed it to His [[little flock]]. How was that government suppose to operate?
|-
| How did it bear [[fruit]]?
|-
| What were the [[Altars]]?
|-
| Why were they [[Sacrifice|sacrificing]]?
|-
| If it did not [[exercise authority]] one over the other how did it function?

1 ¶  Am I not an apostle?<Ref> [[652]] ~ἀπόστολος~ apostolos \@ap-os’-tol-os\@ from 649 n m
 AV-apostle 78, messenger 2, he that is sent 1; 81 1) a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders </Ref> am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2  If I be not an apostle<Ref>Romans 11:13  For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
: 1 Corinthians 15:9  For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
: 1 Timothy 2:7  Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
: 2 Timothy 1:11  Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.</Ref> unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

== Power of His government ==

3 ¶  Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4  Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5  Have we not power to lead <Ref> {{1849}}</Ref>a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6  Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power [exousia]  to forbear working?
7  Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8  Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9  For it is written in the law of [[Moses]], Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?


== Government of Hope ==


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.<Ref name="eattithe">{{eattithe}}</Ref>
11  If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12  If others be partakers of this power[exousia] over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power[exousia]; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13  Do ye not know that they which minister<Ref> {{2038}}</Ref> about holy things<Ref> {{2413}} </Ref> live of the things of the [[Temples|temple]]? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the [[Altars|altar]]?
14  Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach<Ref> 2605 ~καταγγέλλω~ kataggello \@kat-ang-gel’-lo\@ from 2596 and the base of 32; AV-preach 10, show 3, declare 2, teach 1, speak of 1; 17 1) to announce, declare, promulgate, make known 2) to proclaim publicly, publish</Ref> the gospel should live of the gospel<Ref> {{2098}} </Ref>.

== Government of Charity ==

15 ¶  But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17  For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
18  What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power[exousia] in the gospel.

== Government of service ==

19 ¶  For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant<Ref> {{1402}} ~δουλόω~ douloo \@doo-lo’-o\@ from [[1401]]; n m AV-become servant 2, bring into bondage 2, be under bondage 1,       given 1, make servant 1, in bondage 1; 8 1) to make a slave of, reduce to bondage 2) metaph. give myself wholly to one’s needs and service,   make myself a bondman to him</Ref> unto all, that I might gain the more.
20  And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21  To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22  To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23  And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker<Ref> {{4791}} </Ref> thereof with you.

== Government of Faith ==

24 ¶  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?<Ref> {{1017}}</Ref> So run, that ye may obtain.
25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate<Ref> 1467 ~ἐγκρατεύομαι~ egkrateuomai \@eng-krat-yoo’-om-ahee\@ middle voice from 1468;  v AV-can contain 1, be temperate 1; 2 1) to be self-controlled, continent 1a) to exhibit self-government, conduct, one’s self temperately  1b) in a figure drawn from athletes, who in preparing themselves   for the games abstained from unwholesome food, wine, and  sexual indulgence
</Ref> in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26  I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.<ref> {{96}} ~ἀδόκιμος~ adokimos \@ad-ok’-ee-mos\@ from 1 (as a negative particle) and 1384; adj AV-reprobate 6, castaway 1, rejected 1; 8 1) not standing the test, not approved    1a) properly used of metals and coins 2) that which does not prove itself such as it ought    2a) unfit for, unproved, spurious, reprobate</Ref>
