1 Corinthians 9:12-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
12 If others partake of this right over you, should we not more?
But I Chose Not To Make Use Of This Right So As Not To Hinder The Gospel
Nevertheless, we did not make-use-of [a] this right. But we are bearing[b] all things, in order that we might not give any hindrance to the good-news of Christ.
The Lord Even Commanded That Gospel Workers Live By Their Work
13 Do you not know that the ones working the temple-duties eat the things from the temple, that the ones serving at the altar divide-a-share with the altar? 14 So also the Lord directed[c] the ones proclaiming the good-news to be living from the good-news.
