1 Corinthians 9 10-1 Corinthians 9 14
or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.

Hebrews 7:9-12
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

Hebrews 7:4-6
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder.They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
