1 Corinthians 9:6-11 - The New International Version (NIV)
6Or is it just Barnabas and I who lack the right not to work for a living?
7Who serves as a soldier at their own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat their grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?8Am I just saying this out of human authority? Doesn't the law say the same?9For in the law of Moses it is written: Do not muzzle the threshing ox. Are oxen what God cares about?10He's probably saying that for us, isn't he? Yes, that was written for us, because those who plow and thresh must know how to do it with the hope of sharing in the harvest.11If we have sown spiritual seeds among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
1. Korinther 9:6–11 – King James Version (KJV 1900)
6Or just me and Barnabas have no power to stop work?7Who ever goes to war alone? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds the sheep and does not eat the sheep's milk?8Do I say these things like a man? Or doesn't the law say the same?9For in the law of Moses it is written: Thou shalt not muzzle the threshing ox. Does God care about oxen?10or say thatIsfor our own good? For us, no doubt.It isIt is written: Whoever plows, plows with hope; and may he who presses with hope share in his hope.11If we have sown spiritual things for you,It isIs it a big deal if we reap your carnal things?
1. Korinther 9:6–11 – New Living Translation (NLT)
6Or is it just Barnabas and I who have to work to make a living?
7Which soldier has to pay for his own expenses? What vinedresser plants a vineyard and has no right to eat its fruit? What shepherd tends a flock of sheep and is not allowed to drink a little of the milk?8Am I merely expressing a human opinion, or does the law say the same?9For the law of Moses says: You shall not put a muzzle on the ox so that it does not eat while threshing. Did God only think of oxen when he said that?10Didn't he really talk to us? Yes, it was written for us, that both the ploughman and the thresher may have a share in the harvest.
11Having planted spiritual seeds among you, are we not entitled to a harvest of physical food and drink?

6ÖIt isjust Barnabas and meOMSYou have no right to stay away from work?7Who goes to war at their own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and does not drink of the flock's milk?

1. Korinther 9:6–11 – New Century Version (NIV)
6Are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to work to earn a living?7No soldier serves in the army and pays his own wages. No one ever plants a vineyard without eating some of the grapes. No one tends a flock without drinking some of the milk.
8I do not say this out of human authority; God's law says the same thing.9In the Law of Moses it is written: “When an ox is working in the grain, do not close its mouth lest it eat.” When God said this, did he mean only oxen? NO.10He really spoke about us. Yes, this Scripture was written for us, for it goes on to say, "Whoever plows and gathers in the corn should expect to have some of the corn for his work."11Since we are sowing spiritual seeds among you, is it too much if we have to reap material things?
1. Korinther 9:6–11 – American Standard Version (NIV)
6Or just me and Barnabas, don't we have the right to stop work?7What soldier ever serves his own charges? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds the sheep and does not eat the sheep's milk?8Am I saying these things the way people do? Or doesn't the law say the same thing?9For in the law of Moses it is written: “You shall not put a muzzle on the ox when it is threshing.” Is God concerned with the oxen?10Or does he say it safe for us? Yes, it was written for us: For he that plows, let him plow with hope, and he that threshes,rollshope to participate.11If we sow your spiritual things, is it a big deal if we reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians 9:6–11 - Darby's 1890 Bible (DARBY)
6Or just me and Barnabas, don't we have the right not to work?7Who fights war alone? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat the milk of the flock?8Do I speak these things as a man, or does the law not also say these things?9For in the law of Moses it is written: Thou shalt not muzzle the threshing ox. Is God busy with the oxen,10or saysIsfor our own good? For love of us it is written that he that plows should plow with hope, and he that threshes should plow with hope of participatingIs.11If we have sown spiritual things for you,Is aGreatWaswill we reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians 9:6-11 - THE WORD OF GOD Translation (GW)
6Or just Barnabas and I have no right to find other than work to earn our living?
7Does a soldier ever serve in the army at his own expense? Does someone plant a vineyard and not eat the grapes? Does anyone look after a flock and not drink the milk of the sheep?8Am I simply representing a human rule? Don't the teachings of Moses say the same thing?9In the teachings of Moses it says, "Never muzzle an ox while it is threshing." God's concern is not for the oxen.10Doesn't he only speak for our benefit? This was written for our benefit, so that whoever plows or threshes expects to get a share of the harvest.11If we have planted the spiritual seed that has helped you, is it too much if we receive a portion of the harvest of your earthly goods?
1. Korinther 9:6–11 – Die Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
6Or do Barnabas and I alone not have the right to refrain from work?7Who goes to war at their own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and does not drink the milk of the flock?8Am I saying that from a human point of view? Doesn't the law say the same thing?9Because it is written in the Law of Moses:Do not muzzle an ox while threshing the grain.Does God really care about oxen?10Or is he not really saying it for us? Yes, this is written for us, for he that plows shall plow with hope, and he that threshes shall do so in hope of dividing the harvest.11If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it worth much if we reap material benefits from you?
1 Corinthians 9:6–11—The New Revised Standard Version (NIV)
6Or do Barnabas and I just not have the right to forgo work to make a living?7Who bears the costs of military service at all times? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and gets none of their milk?
8Am I saying this out of human authority? Doesn't the law say the same thing?9For in the law of Moses it is written: Thou shalt not muzzle the threshing ox. Is it the oxen that are dear to God?10Or does it not quite speak for us? In fact, it was written for us, for whoever plows must plow with hope, and whoever threshes must thresh with hope for a share of the harvest.11If we have sown spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap your material benefits?

1. Korinther 9:6–11 – New International Reader's Version (1998) (NIV)
6Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to work for a living?
7Who serves as a soldier but doesn't get paid? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat their grapes? Who tends a flock but drinks none of the milk?8Am I just saying that from a human point of view? The law says the same.
9It is written in the law of Moses. “Don't stop an ox from eating while it helps separate the wheat from the chaff.” Are oxen what God cares about?10Doesn't that say something about us? Yes, it was written for us. When a farmer plows and separates the grain, he does so because he expects to share in the harvest.
11We have planted spiritual seeds among you. Is it too much to ask that we get some of the things we need from you?
