1 Corinthians 9:14 — Paul says 'the Lord commanded' that gospel workers be supported financially

1 Corinthians 9:14 reads: 'In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.' Mike connects this to Luke 10:7 where Jesus instructs missionaries he sends out: 'The laborer deserves his wages.' Paul identifies this as a specific command from Jesus, again distinguishing it from his own instruction.
