Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?Who ever goes to war at his own expense?

Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

( for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.

And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

See, I have told you beforehand.
