1 Corinthians 9:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² If others share in this rightful claim over you, do not we even more? However, we did not exercise this right, but we put up with everything so that we will not hinder [the spread of] the good news of Christ. ¹³ Do you not know that those who officiate in the sacred services of the temple eat from the temple [offerings of meat and bread] and those who regularly attend the altar have their share from the [offerings brought to the] altar?^{(A) 14} So also [on the same principle] the Lord directed those who preach the gospel to get their living from the gospel.
