1 Corinthians 9:9

Paul Gives Up His Rights As An Apostle

⁸ Is it, after the manner of men, that these things I am saying? Or doth not, even the law, the same things, say? ⁹ For, in the law of Moses, it is written - Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn: - Is it, for the oxen, God is caring? ¹⁰ Or, for our sakes altogether, is he saying it? For our sakes, it was written; because, he that ploweth, ought, to plow, in hope, - and, he that thresheth, to thresh in hope of partaking.
