1 Corinthians 9:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 I am not just asserting these things (A)according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “(B)You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about (C)oxen, is He? 10 Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written (D)for our sake, because (E)the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops. 11 (F)If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

American Standard Version
8 Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, [a]Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth, 10 or saith he it [b]assuredly for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, to thresh in hope of partaking. 11 If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things?

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.”[a](A) Is it about oxen that God is concerned?(B) 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,(C) because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.(D) 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(E)
