1 Corinthians 9:15

---

← 1 Corinthians 9:14	1 Corinthians 9:15 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 9:16 →
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!
