1 Corinthians 9:11
1 Corinthians 9:8-12 The Message (MSG)
I’m not just sounding off because I’m irritated. This is all written in the scriptural law. Moses wrote, “Don’t muzzle an ox to keep it from eating the grain when it’s threshing.” Do you think Moses’ primary concern was the care of farm animals? Don’t you think his concern extends to us? Of course. Farmers plow and thresh expecting something when the crop comes in. So if we have planted spiritual seed among you, is it out of line to expect a meal or two from you? Others demand plenty from you in these ways. Don’t we who have never demanded deserve even more?
1 Corinthians 9:11 King James Version (KJV)
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians 9:11 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
1 Corinthians 9:11 New Century Version (NCV)
Since we planted spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we should harvest material things?
1 Corinthians 9:11 American Standard Version (ASV)
If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians 9:11 New International Version (NIV)
If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?
1 Corinthians 9:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?
1 Corinthians 9:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
If we have sown [the good seed of] spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
1 Corinthians 9:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
Since we have planted spiritual seed among you, aren’t we entitled to a harvest of physical food and drink?
