Paul in 1 Cor 9:14 does not quote the exact words but invokes the principle: "the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."
G169 -- akathartos (unclean)¶

Key observation: This is the Levitical word for "unclean" (translating Hebrew tame). Paul NEVER uses this word in Romans 14. He uses koinos (G2839) instead.
G2839 -- koinos (common/unclean)¶
Transliteration: koinos Pronunciation: koy-nos Part of Speech: adjective (adj) BLB Count: 12 Definition: probably from sun; common, i.e. (literally) shared by all or several, or (ceremonially) profane KJV translations: common (5), unclean (3), with defiled (1), that is common (1), the common (1), an unholy thing (1)

NOTE: Acts 10:14 uses BOTH koinos AND akathartos, treating them as distinct categories. Paul uses ONLY koinos in Romans 14:14, never akathartos. This is a key distinction for the study.
