1 Corinthians 9:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² You agree to help other people who teach God's message to you. So surely we should receive even more help from you!

But Barnabas and I have not used our authority to make you help us like that. Instead, we accept all these difficult things patiently. We want the good news about Christ to go everywhere. We do not want to do anything that might stop it.

¹³ Think about this: The people who work in the temple get their food from that place. The priests who offer sacrifices on the altar receive part of the animals for themselves. ¹⁴ In the same way, the people who tell God's good news to others should receive what they need to live. They should receive it from the people who hear the good news from them.
