1 Corinthians 9:9-14

RKJNT(i) 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the grain. Is God concerned about oxen? 10 Or does he say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes it is written: that he who plows should plow in hope; and he who threshes should thresh in hope of a share of the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12 If others share this rightful claim upon you, do we not have a greater claim? Nevertheless, we have not used this right, but endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who perform the temple services eat the food of the temple? and those who serve at the altar share what is offered at the altar? 14 In the same way the Lord ordained that those who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.
