Paul Gives Up His Rights As An Apostle
13 Do you not know that those who perform service in the Temple [are permitted to] eat food from the Temple? And those who serve at the Altar receive a share of what is sacrificed on the Altar? 14 Even so the Lord directed that those who proclaim the good news [about Christ] should get their living from [preaching] that good news. 15 But I have not availed myself of any of these rights. And I am not writing this so that it would be done in my case, for I would rather die than have anyone make my boast [i.e., of preaching without financial support] an empty one.
