1 Corinthians 9:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ Am I merely stating some human rule? Don’t Moses’ Teachings say the same thing? ⁹ Moses’ Teachings say, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing ^[a] grain.” God’s concern isn’t for oxen. ¹⁰ Isn’t he speaking entirely for our benefit? This was written for our benefit so that the person who plows or threshes should expect to receive a share of the crop.
