1 Corinthians 9:11-13

New English Translation

¹¹ If we sowed spiritual blessings among you, is it too much to reap material things from you? ¹² If others receive this right from you, are we not more deserving?

But we have not made use of this right. Instead we endure everything so that we may not be a hindrance to the gospel of Christ. ¹³ Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple^[a] eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar receive a part of the offerings?
