1 Corinthians 9:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ So also has the Lord ordained, that those who preach the Gospel, should live from the Gospel.

¹⁵ But I have used none of these things. Nor have I written these things that it should be so done to me. For it would be better for me to die, than that anyone should make my exultation void.

¹⁶ For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing in which to exult. For compulsion is laid upon me, and woe is to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.
