In other words, those who are ministered to should support the one who ministers to them. He spent nearly the entire chapter on this point, making it in different ways, because some in the church in Corinth were unwilling to support him. Paul did not insist on claiming the right to be supported by them, but he gave them several reasons that he could. After all, as he wrote in verse 14, "..., the *Lord* has ordered that those who preach the gospel should get their living from it." What do you think about that? Does it make sense? Does it seem right? What are you going to do about it? Chapter Ten We humans have an astonishing capability for rationalization. You know what rationalization is, right?
