Luk 10:7-12, 1Cor 9:4-14, Gal 6:6-7, 1Ti 5:17-18 | ESV | STEP | And remain in the same house , eating and drinking what they provide , for the laborer deserves his wages . Do not go from house to house .

Luke 10:7-12

7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for ^athe laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ^b‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 ^c‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that ^dthe kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, ^eit will be more bearable on ^fthat day for Sodom than for that town.

1 Corinthians 9:4-14

4 ^gDo we not have the right to eat and drink? 5 ^hDo we not have the right to take along a believing wife, ^{▼▼Greek a sister as wife} as do the other apostles and ^jthe brothers of the Lord and ^kCephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living? 7 ^lWho serves as a soldier at his own expense? ^mWho plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, ⁿ“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written ^ofor our sake, because ^pthe plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 ^qIf we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more?

Nevertheless, ^rwe have not made use of this right, but we endure anything ^srather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that ^tthose who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that ^uthose who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

Galatians 6:6-7

6 ^vLet the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 ^wDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for ^xwhatever one sows, that will he also reap.

1 Timothy 5:17-18

17 Let the elders ^ywho rule well be considered worthy of ^zdouble honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, ^aa“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, ^ab“The laborer deserves his wages.”
