1 Corinthians 9:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ ·Since [If] we ·planted [sowed] spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we should harvest material things from you [^Creceive support for ministry]? ¹² If others have the right to get something from you, surely we have this right, ·too [or even more so]. But we ·do not use it [have not exercised this right]. No, we put up with everything ourselves so that we will not ·keep anyone from believing [^Lput up a hindrance to] the ·Good News [Gospel] of Christ. ¹³ ·Surely [^LDon’t…?] you know that those who ·work at the Temple [perform priestly temple service] get their food from the Temple, and those who serve at the altar get part of what is offered at the altar.
