1 Corinthians 9:8-14

8I am not just asserting these things 1according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? 9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “2You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about 3oxen, is He? 10Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written 4for our sake, because 5the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops. 11 6If 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 7did not use this right, but we endure all things 8so that we will cause no hindrance to the 9gospel of Christ. 13 10Do you not know that those who 11perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share 12from the altar? 14So also 13the Lord directed those who proclaim the 14gospel to 15get their living from the gospel.
