1 Corinthians 9:8-10

Paul Surrenders His Rights

⁸ Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? ⁹ For it is written in the Law of Moses, _u "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain." Is it for oxen that God is concerned? ¹⁰ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written _v for our sake, because _w the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
