This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Do I speak these things after the manner of men? (Mē kata anthrōpon tauta lalō̱). Negative answer expected. Paul uses kata anthrōpon six times (1Co 3:3; 1Co 9:8; 1Co 15:32; Gal 1:11; Gal 3:15; Rom 3:5). The illustrations from human life are pertinent, but he has some of a higher order, from Scripture.
The law also (kai ho nomos). Perhaps objection was made that the Scripture does not support the practice of paying preachers. That objection is still made by the stingy.
