1 Corinthians 9:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ Moses wrote in his books of the law of God, `Do not tie shut the mouth of an ox when it is treading the grain.' Does God care about the oxen?

¹⁰ Does he not say this altogether for our sakes? Yes, he said it for our sakes. There are people who plough the ground and beat the grain. They do this work because they believe they will have a part of the food for themselves.

¹¹ We have planted seed by teaching you the good things of the Spirit. So we should receive something from you to help us to pay for our living.
