1 Corinthians 9:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 I am not just asserting these things (A)according to human judgment, am I?

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?

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?
