1 Corinthians 9:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the gospel should get their living from the gospel.[a]
15 I Have Become All Things to All. However, I have never availed myself of any of these rights, and I have not written this to influence you to grant me such treatment; I would rather die first. No one shall deprive me of this boast! 16 If I proclaim the gospel, that is no reason for me to boast, for the obligation to do so has been given to me, and woe to me if I fail to fulfill it.
