2 corinthians 9

2 corinthians 9:8

A Am I not an apostle? B Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? C Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? D 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal E of my apostleship in the Lord. I 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas J who lack the right to not work for a living? Who plants a vineyard L and does not eat its grapes?

Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Yes, this was written for us, O because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. P 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? But we did not use this right. R On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder S the gospel of Christ.

T 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. V And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. W 16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.

X Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
