1 Corinthians 9:8-12

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ Do I say these things according to man? Does not the Law say the same also?

⁹ For it is written in the Law of Moses, ‘You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn’. Is God concerned for oxen?

¹⁰ Or does He not undoubtedly say this for our sakes? It is for our sakes this is written. That he who plows, should plow in hope, and that he who threshes in hope, should be a partaker of His hope.

¹¹ If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap earthly things from you?

¹² If others are partakers of this authority over you, should not we be more so? Nevertheless, we have not used this authority, but endure all things, that we should not hinder the Gospel of Christ.
