1 Corinthians 9:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Am I speaking these things (A)according to [a]human judgment? Or does not the Law also say these things? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “(B)You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” Is God merely concerned about (C)oxen? 10 Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? 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?

It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap your material benefits?
