1 Corinthians 9:9-14 For in the Law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain." Is God thinking of the oxen?

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For in the Law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain." Is God thinking of the oxen? ¹⁰ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share. ¹¹ If we sowed for you things of the spirit, is it a great matter if we reap your things of the flesh? ¹² If others share this right over you, do not we still more? But we have not used this right. No, we endure all things in order not to cause any hindrance to the good news of Christ. ¹³ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar? ¹⁴ So the Lord has directed that those who proclaim the good news shall have their living from the good news.
