1 Corinthians 9:14
Compare all

13 aDo you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the btemple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?  
14 Even so athe Lord has commanded bthat those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.  
15 But aI have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for bit would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.  
16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for anecessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!  
17 For if I do this willingly, aI have a reward; but if against my will, bI have been entrusted with a stewardship.  
18 What is my reward then? That awhen I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel1 of Christ without charge, that I bmay not abuse my authority in the gospel.  

Serving All Men

19 For though I am afree from all men, bI have made myself a servant to all, cthat I might win the more;  
20 and ato the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the1 law, that I might win those who are under the law;
