1 Corinthians 9:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Does a soldier ever serve in the army at his own expense? Does anyone plant a vineyard and not eat the grapes? Does anyone take care of a flock and not drink milk from the sheep? ⁸ Am I merely stating some human rule? Don’t Moses’ Teachings say the same thing? ⁹ Moses’ Teachings say, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing ^[a] grain.” God’s concern isn’t for oxen.
