13. Do ye not know that they who minister about holy things live from the things of the temple, and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14. Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.
15. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!
