1 Corinthians 9:5-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a believing wife,[a] as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?(A) 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?(B) 7 Who at any time pays the expenses for doing military service? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not get any of its milk?(C)
8 Do I say this on human authority? Does not the law also say the same? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned?(D) 10 Or does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was indeed written for our sake, for whoever plows should plow in hope and whoever threshes should thresh in hope of a share in the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we harvest material[b] things?(E) 12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we still more?
Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.(F) 13 Do you not know that those who work in the temple service get their food from the temple and those who serve at the altar share in what is sacrificed on the altar?(G) 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.(H)

5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife(A) along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers(B) and Cephas[a]?(C) 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas(D) who lack the right to not work for a living?
7 Who serves as a soldier(E) at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard(F) and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[b](G) Is it about oxen that God is concerned?(H) 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,(I) because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.(J) 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(K) 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right.(L) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(M) the gospel of Christ.
13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?(N) 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.(O)
