1 Corinthians 9:13

Do you not know that those working in the sacrifices eat those things of the temple; and those serving the altar partake of the altar?

1902 William Baxter Godbey NT

In The King James Version

Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

14So also the Lord has commanded those preaching the gospel to live of the gospel.
