1 Corinthians 9:11

11 If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it so much to ask to harvest some material things from you?

1 Corinthians 9:11 In-Context

9 In Moses' Law it's written: You will not muzzle the ox when it is threshing. Is God worried about oxen,
10 or did he say this entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake because the one who plows and the one who threshes should each do so with the hope of sharing the produce.
11 If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it so much to ask to harvest some material things from you?
12 If others have these rights over you, don't we deserve them all the more? However, we haven't made use of this right, but we put up with everything so we don't put any obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
13 Don't you know that those who serve in the temple get to eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share part of what is sacrificed on the altar?
