1 Corinthians 9:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Moses’ Teachings say, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing ^[a] grain.” God’s concern isn’t for oxen. ¹⁰ Isn’t he speaking entirely for our benefit? This was written for our benefit so that the person who plows or threshes should expect to receive a share of the crop. ¹¹ If we have planted the spiritual seed that has been of benefit to you, is it too much if we receive part of the harvest from your earthly goods?
