1 Corinthians 9:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Don’t you know that those who perform the temple services eat the food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar^(A) share in the offerings of the altar? ¹⁴ In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel.^(B)

¹⁵ But I have used none of these rights, and I have not written this to make it happen that way for me. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!
