1 Corinthians 9:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9
13 ¿No sabéis que los que trabajan en el santuario, comen del santuario; y que los que sirven al altar, del altar participan?
14 Así también ordenó el Señor á los que anuncian el evangelio, que vivan del evangelio.
15 Mas yo de nada de esto me aproveché: ni tampoco he escrito esto para que se haga así conmigo; porque tengo por mejor morir, antes que nadie haga vana [esta] mi gloria.
16 Pues bien que anuncio el evangelio, no tengo por qué gloriarme; porque me es impuesta necesidad; y ¡ay de mí si no anunciare el evangelio!
17 Por lo cual, si lo hago de voluntad, premio tendré; mas si por fuerza, la dispensación me ha sido encargada.
