1 Corinthians 9:4
Have we no right to take food and drink?
1 Corinthians 9:6
Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?
1 Corinthians 9:12
If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.
1 Corinthians 9:13
Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

Even so did the Lord give orders that the preachers of the good news might get their living from the good news.
1 Corinthians 9:15
But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.
1 Corinthians 9:16
For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.
1 Corinthians 9:17
But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it.
1 Corinthians 9:18
What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.
2 Corinthians 1:1
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Corinthians 5:11
Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
2 Corinthians 11:7
Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?
2 Corinthians 11:10
As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.
1 Corinthians 5:1
It is said, in fact, that there is among you a sin of the flesh, such as is not seen even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.
1 Corinthians 5:2
And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:4
In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
2 Corinthians 13:3
Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:
1 Timothy 1:20
Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.
3 John 1:10
So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.
-----
1 Corinthians 2:1
And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.
1 Corinthians 2:2
For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.
1 Corinthians 2:3
And I was with you without strength, in fear and in doubt.
1 Corinthians 2:4
And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:
1 Corinthians 2:13
And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.
-----
2 Corinthians 2:1
But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:2
For if I give you sorrow, who then will make me glad, but he who is made sad by me?
2 Corinthians 2:3
And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.
-----
2 Corinthians 11:8
I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;
2 Corinthians 11:9

1 Thessalonians 2:6
Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 2:9
For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.
Philemon 1:8
And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
Philemon 1:9
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
-----
2 Corinthians 11:16
I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.
2 Corinthians 11:17
What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.
2 Corinthians 11:18
Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.
2 Corinthians 12:11
I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
Philippians 2:3
Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

Colossians 1:24
Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
