Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ. 13 Don't you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar? 14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Gospel should live from the Gospel.
