1 Corinthians 9:9-14

CLV(i) 9 For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the threshing ox.Not for oxen is the care of God!" 10 Or is He undoubtedly saying it because of us? Because of us, for it was written that the plower ought to be plowing in expectation, and the thresher to partake of his expectation." 11 If, in expectation, we sow the spiritual in you, is it a great thing if we shall reap of your fleshly things? 12 If others are partaking of this right from you, are not rather we? Nevertheless we do not use this right, but we are forgoing all, lest we may be giving any hindrance to the evangel of Christ" 13 Are you not aware that the workers at the sacred things are eating of the things of the sanctuary? Those settling beside the altar have their portion with the altar. 14 Thus the Lord also prescribes that those who are announcing the evangel are to be living of the evangel.
