1 Corinthians 9:10-12
Expanded Bible
10 He was ·really [surely] talking ·about us [for our benefit]. Yes, that Scripture was written for us, because it goes on to say: “The one who plows and the one who ·works in the grain [threshes] should hope to get some of the grain for their work.” 11 ·Since [If] we ·planted [sowed] spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we should harvest material things from you [C receive support for ministry]? 12 If others have the right to get something from you, surely we have this right, ·too [or even more so]. But we ·do not use it [have not exercised this right]. No, we put up with everything ourselves so that we will not ·keep anyone from believing [L put up a hindrance to] the ·Good News [Gospel] of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:10-12
New International Version
10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,(A) because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.(B) 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(C) 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right.(D) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(E) the gospel of Christ.
