Posted by Jonathan Merigala Jesus states that workers deserve their wages. Paul echoes this thought and urges the church to be sure to pay their Christian workers. We have the responsibility to care for our pastors, teachers, and other spiritual leaders. It is our duty to see that those who serve us in the ministry are fairly and adequately compensated.
In verse five, Paul expands on the topic of godly marriage. The brothers of Jesus attained leadership status in the church at Jerusalem. James led the way for an agreement at the Jerusalem Council.
1 Corinthians 9:4-5
4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink? 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas[a]?
