1 Corinthians 9:13 Context
11If we haue sowen vnto you spirituall things, is it a great thing if wee shall reape your carnall things? 12If others bee partakers of this power ouer you, are not we rather? Neuerthelesse, we haue not vsed this power: but suffer all things, lest wee should hinder the Gospel of Christ. 13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things, liue of the things of the Temple? and they which wait at the altar, are partakers with the altar? 14Euen so hath the Lord ordeined, that they which preach the Gospel, should liue of the Gospel. 15But I haue vsed none of these things. Neither haue I written these things, that it should bee so done vnto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my glorying voyd.
