1 Corinthians 9:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who spread the Good News should earn their living from the Good News.

¹⁵ I haven’t used any of these rights, and I haven’t written this in order to use them now. I would rather die than have anyone turn my bragging into meaningless words. ¹⁶ If I spread the Good News, I have nothing to brag about because I have an obligation to do this. How horrible it will be for me if I don’t spread the Good News!
