Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 9:14
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Cor 9:14 · Douay-Rheims
“So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.”
On this verse:
“The apostle says this [here and in Timothy :-] so that Timothy might understand that what he took from those for whom he was, as it were, fighting, and whom he was cultivating as a vine, or feeding as a flock, was not a sign of begging but an acknowledgment of a right.”
