1 Corinthians 9:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ I do not say this ·by human authority [from human experience; ^Laccording to man]; God’s law also says the same thing. ⁹ [^LFor] It is written in the law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox when it is ·working in [treading; threshing] the grain [Deut. 25:4].” When God said this, was he ·thinking only [concerned] about oxen? No. 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.”
