1 Corinthians 9:9

Plain English Version

You see, a long time ago, God gave Moses this law, “If you get an animal to work for you, you have to let that animal eat something while it works.” That is the law. And listen, God wasn’t just thinking about animals when he gave Moses that law.

1 Timothy 5:18

God says this in his book, “If you get an animal to work for you, you have to let that animal eat something while it works.” And he also says, “It is right for workers to get their pay.” Well, it is like that too with the church leaders. They work for the church, so the church has to pay them properly.
