READ IN CONTEXT · BSB

1 Corinthians 9

11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?

12 If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

13 Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

14 In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
