1 Corinthians 9:8-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ Am I saying this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the law also say the same thing? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox^(A) while it treads out grain.^(B)[a] Is God really concerned with oxen? ¹⁰ Or isn’t He really saying it for us? Yes, this is written for us,^(C) because he who plows ought to plow in hope,^(D) and he who threshes should do so in hope of sharing the crop.^{(E) 11} If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?
