1 Corinthians 9:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9

13 Não sabeis vós, que os que administram as coisas sagradas, comem [daquilo que é] sagrado? E os que continuamente estão junto ao altar, com o altar participam?

14 Assim também ordenou o Senhor, aos que anunciam o Evangelho, que vivam do Evangelho.

15 Porém eu de nenhuma destas coisas usei; e nem isto escrevi, para que assim se faça comigo; porque melhor me seria morrer, do que esvaecer este meu orgulho.

16 Porque se anunciar o Evangelho, para mim não é orgulho, pois a obrigação me é imposta. E ai de mim, se não anunciar o Evangelho!

17 Porque se eu faço de boa mente, tenho recompensa; mas se eu fizer de má vontade, a responsabilidade me é confiada.
