1 Corinthians 9:14
King James Version
“Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.”
Context
11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12If others be partakers of power over you, not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
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!
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed unto me.
