New Testament

1 Corinthians 9:13-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. Do you not know that those serving the Set-apart Place eat from the Set-apart Place, and those attending at the altar have their share of the offerings of the altar?

14. So also the Master instituted that those announcing the Good News should live from the Good News.

15. But I have used none of these, nor have I written this that it should be done so to me. For it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting empty.

16. For if I bring the Good News, it is no boasting for me, for necessity is laid on me, and it is woe to me if I do not bring the Good News!

17. For if I do this voluntarily I have a reward, but if not voluntarily, I am entrusted with a management.

18. What then is my reward? That in bringing the Good News, I should offer the Good News of Messiah without cost, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
