‏ 1 Corinthians 9:9-10

9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, ^a“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written ^bfor our sake, because ^cthe plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
