What does the Bible say about pastors being supported?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel, as established in 1 Corinthians 9:14.

In 1 Corinthians 9, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that those who minister in spiritual things have the right to be supported materially by those they serve. He draws analogies, stating that just as those who go to war, plant vineyards, or tend flocks do not do so at their own expense, neither should pastors bear the financial burden of their ministry alone. This principle is rooted in God’s ordination that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel, reflecting God’s provision for His ministers through the generosity of believers.
