1 Corinthians 9:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ Yes, it is written in the law of Moses: “When an ox is working in the grain, do not cover its mouth and keep it from eating.”^[a] When God said this, was he thinking only about oxen? No. ¹⁰ He was really talking about us. Yes, that Scripture was written for us. The one who plows and the one who works in the grain should hope to get some of the grain for their work. ¹¹ We planted spiritual seed among you. So we should be able to harvest from you some things for this life. Surely this is not asking too much.
