1 Corinthians 9:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?

⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

¹⁰ Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
