Adam Clarke, on 1Cor 9:11

“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?”

“If we have sown unto you spiritual things - If we have been the means of bringing you into a state of salvation by the Divine doctrines which we have preached unto you, is it too much for us to expect a temporal support then we give ourselves up entirely to this work? Every man who preaches the Gospel has a right to his own support and that of his family while thus employed.”
