Yes, (D)for our sake it was written, because (E)the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops. 11 (F)If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

13 Don’t you realize that those who work in the temple get their meals from the offerings brought to the temple? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings. 14 In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it.
