1 Corinthians 9:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ Who at any time serves ^(A)as a soldier at his own expense? Who ^(B)plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not ^[a]consume some of the milk of the flock?

⁸ I am not just asserting these things ^(C)according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? ⁹ For it is written in the Law of Moses: “^(D)You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about ^(E)oxen, is He?
