Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.And he said to them,“ The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church?

And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.

But first I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”

For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

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