Malachi 1:10

10 ^aOh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, ^band I will not accept an offering from your hand.

1 Corinthians 9:12-15

12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more?

Nevertheless, ^gwe have not made use of this right, but we endure anything ^hrather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that ⁱthose 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? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that ^jthose who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

15 But ^kI have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone ^ldeprive me of my ground for boasting.

Philippians 4:11

11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be ⁿcontent.
