1 Corinthians 9:14

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Even {G2532} so {G3779} hath {G1299} the Lord {G2962} ordained {G1299} that they which preach {G2605} the gospel {G2098} should live {G2198} of {G1537} the gospel {G2098}.

In the same way, the Lord directed that those who proclaim the Good News should get their living from the Good News.

In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

Even so did the Lord ordain that they that proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel.
