Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Do I speak these things after the manner of men? (Mh kata anqrwpon tauta lalw). Negative answer expected. Paul uses kata anqrwpon six times (I Corinthians 3:3; I Corinthians 9:8; I Corinthians 15:32; Galatians 1:11; Galatians 3:15; Romans 3:5). The illustrations from human life are pertinent, but he has some of a higher order, from Scripture.
The law also (kai o nomov). Perhaps objection was made that the Scripture does not support the practice of paying preachers. That objection is still made by the stingy.
