11/14 ~ From New Testament Letters
🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)
12 - If others share this rightful claim upon you, do not we even more so? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the good news of Christ. 13 Do you not know that 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 instructed that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel (Matthew 10:10; Luke 10:8; compare Galatians 6:6).
15 But I have made no use of this, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my grounds for boasting! 16 For if I preach the gospel - that gives me no ground for boasting. For compulsion is laid heavily upon me. Woe to me, if I I do not preach the gospel!
