1 Corinthians 9:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸ Do I say these things only from a man’s perspective? Does the Law not endorse the same principles? ⁹ For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain [to keep it from eating the grain].” Is it [only] for oxen that God cares?^{(A) 10} Or does He speak entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake: The plowman ought to plow ^[a]in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the harvest.
