Worsley(i)
6 Or is it I only and Barnabas, that have not power to forbear working?
7 Who ever goes a warfare at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and doth not eat of the fruit of it? or who feedeth a flock, and doth not eat of the milk of the flock?
8 Do I speak these things as a man only?
9 or saith not the law the same also? for it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." Now doth God take care for oxen,
10 or doth He say this indeed for our sakes? For it is certainly written for our sakes, that he, who ploweth, might plow in hope; and that he, who thresheth in hope, should partake of his hope.
11 If we then have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?
12 If others partake of this power over you, may not we rather? though we have not used this power; but we bear all things, least we should cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know, that they who are employed about the sacrifices have their food from the temple? and they, who attend at the altar, are partakers with the altar?
14 So also the Lord hath ordained, that those who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.
