But if any man say to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it. And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks? read more.
Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God. Become ye inoffensive both to Jews and to Greeks, and to the church of God, just as I also strive to please in all things for all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, so that they may be saved.

Evil » Instances of » In supporting himself
Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?

or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share. If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things? If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ. Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar? And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good-news to live from the good-news. But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty. For if I preach the good-news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good-news. For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good-news, I may make the good-news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good-news. For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more. And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law, to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law.
