Giving up rights for the gospel
But we haven’t made use of this right. Instead, we put up with everything, so as to place no obstacle in the way of the Messiah’s gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:11-13
New International Version
11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(A) 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right.(B) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(C) the gospel of Christ.
13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?(D)
