What does the Bible say about preaching the gospel without charge?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that preaching the gospel freely exemplifies the true mission of the church, as shown in 1 Corinthians 9:14-18.

In 1 Corinthians 9, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of preaching the gospel without charge. He illustrates that while it is appropriate for those who preach the gospel to receive support, he chose not to use this right. His glory lies in preaching the gospel freely, ensuring that the message of Christ does not come with conditions that might hinder its acceptance. Paul recognizes that his duty is to communicate the gospel effectively to all, regardless of their background or customs, and by abstaining from financial demands, he removes barriers that could obstruct the reception of this message. This reflects the broader principle of serving others for the sake of the gospel, as he states, 'I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.'
