1 Corinthians 9:7-14
7Who at any time serves 1as a soldier at his own expense? Who 2plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not 3use the milk of the flock?
8I am not speaking these things 4according to 5human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things? 9For it is written in the Law of Moses, “6You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing.” God is not concerned about 7oxen, is He? 10Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, 8for our sake it was written, because 9the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops. 1110If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we 11did not use this right, but we endure all things 12so that we will cause no hindrance to the 13gospel of Christ. 1314Do you not know that those who 15perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share 16from the altar? 14So also 17the Lord directed those who proclaim the 18gospel to 19get their living from the gospel.
