NASB
"If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?"
— 1 Corinthians 9:11, NASB
“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?”
“If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things? ”
“If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?”
“If we sowed spiritual blessings among you, is it too much to reap material things from you?”
“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?”
“If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?”
“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?”
I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?
For it is written in the Law of Moses, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING." God is not concerned about oxen, is He?
Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.
If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?
So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.
