1 Corinthians 9:11

Paul Gives Up His Rights As An Apostle

¹⁰ or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share. ¹¹ If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things? ¹² If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ.
