1 Corinthians 9:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ For it is written in the Law of Moses, ^(A)“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? ¹⁰ Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written ^(B)for our sake, because ^(C)the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. ^11 (D)If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
