King James Version
"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?"
— 1 Corinthians 9:13, King James Version
“Know ye not that they that minister about sacred things eat of the things of the temple, and they that wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar? ”
“Don't you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?”
“Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar receive a part of the offerings?”
“Know you not that they who work in the holy place eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar partake with the altar?”
“Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?”
“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?”
Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
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.
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
