1 Corinthians 9:9-14

9For it is written in the Torah of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.” Is it the oxen that concern God,

10or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the one plowing ought to plow in hope and the one threshing in hope of a share in the crop.

11If we sowed spiritual things into you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

12If others have a share in this claim over you, shouldn’t we even more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we put up with all things so that we cause no hindrance to the Good News of Messiah.

13Don’t you know that those who perform the holy services eat from the Temple, and those who wait on the altar receive a share at the altar?

14So also the Lord ordered those who proclaim the Good News to get their living from the Good News.
