1 Corinthians 9:6-12

Mace(i) 6 or I and Barnabas, are we only excluded the privilege of not working? 7 who ever serves in war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard, and does not eat of the fruit? or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? 8 is this only the voice of reason? does not the law express the same too? 9 for it is written in the law of Moses, "thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." are oxen the objects of divine care? 10 or is it said, no doubt, for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he who plows should plow in hope; and that he who thresheth should expect the advantage. 11 if for your benefit we have sown spirituals, is it so extraordinary if we should reap some benefit from your temporals? 12 if others partake of your substance, have not I a better title? nevertheless, I have not made use of this privilege; but bear with any thing rather than obstruct the gospel of Christ.
