petra1:
So which translation should we take

You can take a pick out of any of the over 50 translations from the above other than TLB

petra1:
And Why criticize a translation just because it faults your theory

What theory might that be?

petra1:
Na me write bible?

Please dont ask a dumb question, if you arent prepared to receive a dumb answer back
You are quick in quoting Galatians 6:6 but preferring the TLB version/translation
Paying indeed.
Paying indeed with what?
Preferably money. Right, isnt it?

Rpeating the sense of entitlement to filthy lucre always betrays some
and is the for reason for prefering and always quoting using The Living Bible (TLB)

As you can see from the above screen capture of 50+ve translations, TLB sticks out like a badly sore thumb because only it talks about paying
Is this paying in cash or in kind?

Since you mentioned it, you might as well deal with mandatory giving now

So do you accept that paying tithe should not be mandatory?
Do you accept that, it is immoral to cajole believers to pay tithe or make it mandatory that they pay tithe?

It's necessity just like offering , prayer, worship and other spiritual principles . You do them you enjoy the benefit ,you don't do them you miss their benefit.

Whatever translation you pick are still saying THESAME thing. Ministering to the teachers or paying them . Which flaws the op's idea

Cash and kind either

It's just to give better understanding that's all

Now that you mentioned spiritual principles, do you accept that there is a higher and/or better principle than paying this mandatory and a necessity tithe?
Is there a better spiritual principle one is not forced to do, as in, this better principle is not mandatory like paying tithe is taught to be by some churches and pastors

What are the enjoyments to benefit from paying tithe?
What are benefits that will be missed if not paying tithe?

petra1:

No, they all don't say the same thing.
Every other translation said SHARE, except for TLB that you selected, that it only, said, PAYING THEM

petra1:
Cash and kind either

OK then if it can be in cash or in kind

Well, OP was trying to say take notice of 1 Corinthians 9:18, and that the congregation with their hard earned money shouldn't be sustaining and maintaining the opulent living and lifestyle of the preacher

What then is my pay?
It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone.
That's why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.
- 1 Corinthians 9:18 NLT

That makes it clear he had rights . He just denied himself . It's his personal decision . If you embark on a fast that doesn't mean everyone should give up their food .

You dont seem to see the wood for the money trees.
The overall picture here, is not about rights but is about the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone

The opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone is primary
The right is secondary, and when the right is secondary, it limits abuse of power

What is my reward then?
Verily that, when I preach the gospel,
I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel
- 1 Corinthians 9:18 King James Bible

No. In all Labour is a reward.
