What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.
