1 Corinthians 9:8-9

9:8 Am I saying these things only on the basis of common sense, ¹  or does the law not say this as well? 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” ²  God is not concerned here about oxen, is he?

[9:8]  ¹ tn Or “only according to human authority”; Grk “saying these things according to men.”

[9:9]  ² sn A quotation from Deut 25:4.
