King James | Power New Testament | New International Version |
| 9. For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not
muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take
care of the oxen?
10. Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? |
9. For in the Torah of Moses it has
been written, “You shall
not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.” (Dt 25:4) Are oxen more cared
about by God? 10. or is He not certainly saying this for our sakes
as well? For it was written for our sakes that the one who is plowing
ought to plow on hope and the one who is threshing to partake of it on
hope. 11. If we sowed the spiritual things in you, is it a great
thing if we reap your material things?
(v.9) Torah, meaning teaching or instruction, refers to the first five |
9. For it is written in the Law of Moses: "Do not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain." Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10. Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11. If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? |
