1 Corinthians 9:12-18

[12] If  others  be partakers  of this power  are not  rather?  Nevertheless  not  used  power;  but  suffer  all things,  we should  hinder  the gospel  of Christ.  [13] 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?  [14] Even  so  the Lord  ordained  that they which preach  the gospel  should live  of  the gospel.  [15] But  have used  none  neither  have I written  that  so  done  unto  for  it were better  to die,  than  that  glorying  void.  [16] For  though  I preach the gospel,  nothing  to glory of:  for  necessity  is laid upon  woe  the gospel!  [17] For  if  I do  willingly,  I have  a reward:  but  if  against my will,  a dispensation  of the gospel is committed unto me.  [18] What  reward  then?  Verily that,  when I preach the gospel,  I may make  the gospel  without charge,  that  I abuse  not  power  in  the gospel.
