1 Corinthians 9:8 in context

  1. 6Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
  2. 7What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?
  3. 8Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
  4. 9For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,
  5. 10or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
