1 Corinthians 9:9-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox^(A) while it treads out grain.^[a](B) Is God really concerned about oxen? ¹⁰ Isn’t he really saying it for our sake? Yes, this is written for our sake,^(C) because he who plows ought to plow in hope,^(D) and he who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing the crop.^{(E) 11} If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?
