Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Even to this present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain abode, And labour, working with our own hands:

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you become christians by my labour?

Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to stop doing manual labor [in order to support our ministry]?

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

Labour for love, and covet spiritual gifts: and most chiefly for to prophesy.

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

but whether I or they labour'd most, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:

that you also be subject to such people, and to all those who work together and labor.

They have refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So fully acknowledge such men and deeply appreciate them.
