What does the Bible say about the support of gospel ministry?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who preach the gospel should be supported by the church, as ordained by God.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 9:14 that the Lord has ordained that those who preach the gospel should live by it. This reflects God's design for the ministry, wherein preachers are expected to be fully committed to their work. Paul himself chose not to receive financial support from the Corinthian church to validate that his motives were solely driven by obedience to God and not for financial gain. Support for the ministry is essential, reflecting the community’s responsibility to care for those who have dedicated themselves to preaching the gospel.
