“...Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.” 1 Corrinthians 9:12

Yep.

Though in this context someone in the peanut gallery might be tempted to think the immediate context was not what we might call a parsonage, or the right to be supported.

Paul makes far more hay out of the fact that they aren’t taking money but are supporting themselves.
