1 Corinthians 9:10-12
New International Version
1 Corinthians 9:10-12
New International Version
10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,(A) because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.(B) 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(C) 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.(D) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(E) the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:10-12
King James Version
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:10-12
English Standard Version
10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written (A)for our sake, because (B)the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 (C)If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, (D)we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything (E)rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
