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)
