1 Corinthians 9:8-11
World English Bible
8 Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.”
1 Corinthians 9:8-11
Lexham English Bible
8 I am not saying these things according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these things? 9 For in the law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it[a] is threshing.”[b] It is not about oxen God is concerned, is it?[c] 10 Or doubtless does he speak for our sake[d]? 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?
