1 Corinthians 9:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Yes, it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain.”^[a] Is God really concerned about oxen, ¹⁰ or does he say this entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of getting a share. ¹¹ If we sowed spiritual seed for your good, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?
