1 Corinthians 9:9-11

Contemporary English Version

^8-9 (A) I am not saying this on my own authority. The Law of Moses tells us not to muzzle an ox when it is grinding grain. But was God concerned only about an ox? ¹⁰ No, he wasn't! He was talking about us. This was written in the Scriptures so that all who plow and all who grind the grain will look forward to sharing in the harvest.

^11 (B) When we told the message to you, it was like planting spiritual seed. So we have the right to accept material things as our harvest from you.
