1 Corinthians 9:9-14 Yea, in the Law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while he is treading out the grain.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Yea, in the Law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while he is treading out the grain. ¹⁰ Is it the oxen that God is thinking about, or is it really said for our sakes? It was written for us; because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher in hope of getting a share of the crop. ¹¹ If I have sown for you the seeds of spiritual good, is it a great thing if I reap from you temporal goods? ¹² If others share this authority over you, do not I far more? Yet I have not availed myself of it, but am patiently enduring; so that I may not in any way hinder the progress of Christ's gospel. ¹³ You know, do you not, that those who minister in the temple, and those who serve at the altar, get their portion of the sacrifices? ¹⁴ Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
