Do ye not know that they which minister about
holy things live of the things of the temple?
and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they
which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:13,14
Ox Analogy
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1 Corinthians 9:9
If God cares for the oxen...doesn't He care for the ministry? It should be provided for.
