ACV(i)
6 Or have only I and Barnabas no right not to be occupied earning a living?
7 Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?
8 Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen,
10 or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share.
11 If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?
12 If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good news of the Christ.
13 Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?
14 And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good news to live from the good news.
