1 Corinthians 9:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ Do I say this on human authority? Does not the law also say the same? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses, ‘You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.’ Is it for oxen that God is concerned? ¹⁰ Or does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was indeed written for our sake, for whoever ploughs should plough in hope and whoever threshes should thresh in hope of a share in the crop.
