1 Corinthians 9:4-14 Have we not a right to eat and to drink?

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Have we not a right to eat and to drink? ⁵ have we not a right to take round a sister [as] wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? ⁶ Or *I* alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work? ⁷ Who ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock? ⁸ Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things? ⁹ For in the law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that is treading out corn. Is God occupied about the oxen, ¹⁰ or does he say [it] altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking of [it]. ¹¹ If we have sown to you spiritual things, [is it a] great [thing] if *we* shall reap your carnal things? ¹² If others partake of this right over you, should not rather *we*? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ. ¹³ Do ye not know that they who labour [at] sacred things eat of the [offerings offered in the] temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar? ¹⁴ So also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings.
