1 Corinthians 9:9-14

Thomson(i) 9 For in the law of Moses it is written, "Thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn": Is God solicitous for oxen? 10 Or doth he not unquestionably say this for our sake? For us indeed it was written, because he who plougheth ought to plough in hope; and he who thresheth in hope ought to partake of his hope. 11 If we have sown for you spiritual things is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things? 12 If others exercise this power over you, may not we rather? But we have not made use of this power; but endure all things that we may not give any obstruction to the glad tidings of the Christ. 13 Do you not know that they who prepare the sacrifice eat of the sacrifice? They who attend on the altar partake with the altar. 14 So also the Lord hath ordered for them who proclaim the glad tidings, that they should live by the glad tidings
