2 Corinthians 11:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Or (A)did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because (B)I preached God's gospel to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and was (C)in need, (D)I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia (E)supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain (F)from burdening you in any way.

Gehazi's Greed and Punishment
15 Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold, I know that (A)there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so (B)accept now a present from your servant.” 16 But he said, (C)“As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, (D)I will receive none.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

1 Corinthians 9:12-15
English Standard Version
12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more?
Nevertheless, (A)we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything (B)rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that (C)those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that (D)those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
15 But (E)I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone (F)deprive me of my ground for boasting.

2 Kings 5:20-27
English Standard Version
20 (A)Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. (B)As the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 21 So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, (C)“Is all well?” 22 And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from (D)the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and (E)two changes of clothing.’” 23 And Naaman said, (F)“Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25 He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence (G)a leper, like snow.
