1 Corinthians 9:11

11 Since we planted spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we should harvest from you some things for this life?

1 Corinthians 9:11 In-Context

9 It is written in the law of Moses: "When an ox is working in the grain, do not cover its mouth to keep it from eating." When God said this, was he thinking only about oxen? No.
10 He was really talking about us. Yes, that Scripture was written for us, because it goes on to say: "The one who plows and the one who works in the grain should hope to get some of the grain for their work."
11 Since we planted spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we should harvest from you some things for this life?
12 If others have the right to get something from you, surely we have this right, too. But we do not use it. No, we put up with everything ourselves so that we will not keep anyone from believing the Good News of Christ.
13 Surely you know that those who work at the Temple get their food from the Temple, and those who serve at the altar get part of what is offered at the altar.
