1 Corinthians 9:8-11
English Standard Version
8 Do I say these things on human authority?

It was written (B)for our sake, because (C)the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 (D)If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

8 I am not saying these things according to a human perspective.

For it is written for our sake[e], because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshes ought to do so in hope of a share. 11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too great a thing if we reap material things from you?
