1 Corinthians 9:13-15

Moffatt(i) 13 Do you not know that as men who perform temple-rites get their food from the temple, and as attendants at the altar get their share of the sacrifices, 14 so the Lord's instructions were that those who proclaim the gospel are to get their living by the gospel? 15 Only, I have not availed myself of any of these rights, and I am not writing in order to secure any such provision for myself. I would die sooner than let anyone deprive me of this, my source of pride.
