1 Corinthians 9:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Do you not know that those who perform the temple service receive their food from the temple, and that those who officiate at the altar share in the offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the gospel should get their living from the gospel.[a]
15 I Have Become All Things to All. However, I have never availed myself of any of these rights, and I have not written this to influence you to grant me such treatment; I would rather die first. No one shall deprive me of this boast!
