1 Corinthians 9:10-14 Or, does he command this chiefly for our sakes? For our sakes, certainly, it is written: because, he who plows, ought to plough in hope; and he who threshes in hope, ought to partake of his own hope.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Or, does he command this chiefly for our sakes? For our sakes, certainly, it is written: because, he who plows, ought to plough in hope; and he who threshes in hope, ought to partake of his own hope. ¹¹ If we have sown for you spiritual things, is it a great matter, if we shall reap your carnal things? ¹² If others partake of this authority over you, ought not we, rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power; but we bear all things, that we may not give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ. ¹³ Do you not know that they who perform sacred offices, eat from the temple? Do not they who wait at the altar share with the altar? ¹⁴ So also, the Lord has appointed them who announce the gospel, to live by the gospel.
