  • 1 Cor 9:9-9 : 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, 'You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.' Does God care for oxen? 10 Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope. 11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others are partakers of this right over you, should not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar? 14 Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

And I gathered them together and placed them in their stations. 12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the storehouses. 13 And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouses Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, for they were considered trustworthy, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.
