1 Corinthians 9:7-13

7WhoG5101 at anyG4218 timeG4218 servesG4754 1asG4754 aG4754 soldierG4754 at his ownG2398 expenseG3800? WhoG5101 2plantsG5452 a vineyardG290 and does not eatG2068 its fruitG2590? OrG2228 whoG5101 tendsG4165 a flockG4167 and does not 3consumeG2068 someG1537 of the milkG1051 of the flockG4167?

8I am not just assertingG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778 4accordingG2596 to humanG444 judgmentG444, am I? OrG2228 does the LawG3551 not sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778 asG2532 wellG2532? 9For it is writtenG1125 in the LawG3551 of MosesG3475: “5You shall not muzzleG2778 the oxG1016 while it is threshingG248.” GodG2316 is not concernedG3199 aboutG3199 6oxenG1016, is He? 10OrG2228 is He speakingG3004 entirelyG3843 for our sakeG1223? YesG1063, it was writtenG1125 7for our sakeG1223, becauseG3754 8the plowmanG722 oughtG3784 to plowG722 in hopeG1680, and the thresherG248 to thresh in hopeG1680 of sharingG3348 in the crops. 11 9IfG1487 we sowedG4687 spiritualG4152 thingsG4152 in you, is it tooG3173 muchG3173 ifG1487 we reapG2325 materialG4559 thingsG4559 from you? 12IfG1487 othersG243 shareG3348 the rightG1849 over you, do we not moreG3123? NeverthelessG235, we 10did not useG5530 thisG3778 rightG1849, but we endureG4722 allG3956 thingsG3956 11soG2443 thatG2443 we will causeG1325 noG3361 G5100 hindranceG1464 to the 12gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. 13 13Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who 14performG2038 sacredG2413 servicesG2413 eatG2068 the food of the templeG2413, and thoseG3588 who attendG3918 regularlyG3918 to the altarG2379 haveG4829 their shareG4829 15from the altarG2379?
