13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?Select 1 Corinthians 9:13
14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.Select 1 Corinthians 9:14
15But 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.Select 1 Corinthians 9:15
16For 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!Select 1 Corinthians 9:16
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.Select 1 Corinthians 9:17
