1 Corinthians 9:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9
13 Ne savez-vous pas que ceux qui remplissent les fonctions sacrées sont nourris par le temple, que ceux qui servent à l’autel ont part à l’autel?
14 De même aussi, le Seigneur a ordonné à ceux qui annoncent l’Évangile de vivre de l’Évangile.
15 Pour moi, je n’ai usé d’aucun de ces droits, et ce n’est pas afin de les réclamer en ma faveur que j’écris ainsi; car j’aimerais mieux mourir que de me laisser enlever ce sujet de gloire.
16 Si j’annonce l’Évangile, ce n’est pas pour moi un sujet de gloire, car la nécessité m’en est imposée, et malheur à moi si je n’annonce pas l’Évangile!
17 Si je le fais de bon cœur, j’en ai la récompense; mais si je le fais malgré moi, c’est une charge qui m’est confiée.
