1 Corinthians 9:14-16

Darby Translation

¹⁴ So also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings.

¹⁵ But *I* have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for [it were] good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

¹⁶ For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.
