1 Corinthians 9:7

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?

In context

5 Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

6 Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?

7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?

8 Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?

9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
