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 its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not 3consume some of the milk of the flock?
8I am not just asserting these things 4according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? 9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “5You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about 6oxen, is He? 10Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written 7for our sake, because 8the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops. 119If 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 10did not use this right, but we endure all things 11so that we will cause no hindrance to the 12gospel of Christ. 1313Do you not know that those who 14perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share 15from the altar? 14So also 16the Lord directed those who proclaim the 17gospel to 18get their living from the gospel.
